What IM do you use?
 
Hey,

What Instant Messaging system do you use?

Some of the famous ones are:
  • AIM
  • Msn Messenger
  • Yahoo! Messenger
  • Trillian
  • Skype - Also has that feature

Personally, I like Msn Messenger due to it's great features which isn't comparable with any other IM out there ;) It has regular updates and is safe to use too :)

Post your thoughts :)

I use both AIM and MSN. I'm usually on MSN the most, because I like the interface and functuality of it. I got drawn away from AIM when AIM Triton came out, which is the worst program I've ever used in my life. It has so many bugs and other problems.

I use GAIM. It's one of the best, most lightweight programs I've ever used. It works with:

AIM
ICQ
GADU-GADU
Groupwise
Irc
Jabber
Msn
Napster
Silc
Sometime
Yahoo

It's amazing and free, you should give it a try. By the way, install most of the plugins - that's what makes it so great.

I couldn't have said this any better myself, I feel the exact way about AIM triton, and I use MSN more than I do aim, exactly the same as you.

I do not use many because I live in the USA and everyone just uses AIM so that is what I have to use if I want to talk to anyone.

Dizaster 04-23-2006 05:54 PM

I'm from USA as well, what do you mean "everyone uses AIM" ? Not all americans use AIM you know. lol

I use AIM & MSN. I despise ICQ & YIM, and Trillian doesn't tickle my fancy.

etali 04-28-2006 01:12 PM

I use XFire, ICQ, and then Gaim for AIM/YM/MSN (I actually like the ICQ interface of some of the older versions, so have kept ICQ).

I use both MSN and yahoo. I am mostly online on MSN, but MSN doesn't have chat rooms, so I also tend to use yahoo sometimes when I am bored.

I use only MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger some times for few of my friends which want to chat on Yahoo Messenger instead of MSN. In my opinion its hard to get switched to any other IM from MSN, MSN is the best with many features. I just love MSN!

I am using msn messenger 9.0 beta. Its features are very cool. I just love to use it. Its simply the best.

Personally I use skype for my IM. Purely because I also like voice and video chat

I use GTalk & Skype
 
I use GTalk & Skype most of the times. I like them because I find them easy to use especially GTalk as it is fast too. Yes, MSN messenger is nice and I also use it thought not frequently.

I use MSN Messenger all the time.
I have tried Skype for a while, but Skype gets only really interesting when you have a webcam-headset combination.

Back in the late 1990s I used to use ICQ, but now I use Yahoo. Over the years I have tried a lot of instant messenger programs. Yahoo offers everything that I want or need.

I really like that picture sharing feature of YM. You just drag and drop a picture into the chat screen so other people ca see it. Plus, its tied into my yahoo mail account.

I use Windows Live Messenger the most, I have Skype installed but have only ever used it once.

I generally use Yahoo.. as i feel it s very user friendly and has very good options and sometime I use MSN, but preferably Yahoo as MNS doesn't have chat room. Now a days gchat is also catching up and its also very good. Thanks
