Default 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.

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

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.
