No poll this time. I just wanna know what everyone else likes out there in the world of Instant Messengers. I use a variety of them, Skype, MSN, yahoo, Aim. I used to have icq back in the day. I like MSN for its chat features, and games, however, I like Skype for the free phone call feature :D. But in the end,I think MSN wins in my book.

I don't really like any of them. But I use Msn because 99% of everyone uses that.

I have Gaim, which does MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, and ICQ, I am pretty sure it supports Skype also, but I am too lazy to get another instant messaging ID and none of my clients are on Skype anyway.

I have used AIM in the past, but I stopped when I realized that the best IM of all is the one that's turned off.

Text messaging.

I use MSN mainly. I have Skype but rarely use it. MSN keeps being a bit screwy on occasion though:mad: esp.tonight!

*kicks MSN*

Skype= free phone calls in the US and canada to any phone. I like that. It saves me a lot of money when calling home.

MSN. Superior. 'Nuff said.

Although I HAVE to use AIM because that's what everyone at school uses :(

MSN. If just for the custom emoticons you can make.

you know..funny enough..sometimes on MSN, when i am talking to a certain person, i see a little display pic that says "STFU Colodia" :p

MSN, only cos everybody i know uses it.

MSN hands down ( and feet, face, teeth...)

I only use Yahoo! to talk to my brother now and then. That's it. Don't know how it stacks up, don't care. I haven't had a need for a messanger, really.

I just use MSN. I'm too lazy to try the others out.

I just use MSN because its pretty much the standard IM (and thus everyone uses it)

Also as stated above I can’t be arsed to check the others out

that's kinda cool I don't make any long distance calls though (well, not any that I have to pay for) so it's not really useful to me. I only really talk to clients through IM so I have to have a lot of different ones so that they can communicate with me, if I didn't have to have all of them I would stick to MSN probably since that's what all my family is on.

Trillian :p Skype is wonderful to talk to NSers that across the country or the British.

Most the NSers I know are on AIM though. Tends to lead to large random chats frequently.

I use MSN 100%, though I'm thinking of making an AIM account to talk to those select few who don't use MSN.

AIM, simply because all my friends do. But I hate that they got rid of the warn function!

oh, I remember that, when my husband and I first moved out to AZ he had that at work and I would annoy him all day and when he would start to annoy me back I would warn him a lot to get his level up, and he would warn me back and it was so fun!:p

Skype.

Yahoo Messenger + Y!Tunnel Pro (kills the spammers and shit), and Trillian (doesn't do well for yahoo chat).

Ditto on all counts :D

Yahoo. I used to use ICQ and AIM (with trillian) but gave up on them. Meh, none of my friends are ever on anymore anyway.
