I used MSN in HS and AIM in college. I use both all the time now but I like AIM best. Talk to my parents and stuff on MSN though.

I use AIM, as most of my friends use it, it's easy, doesn't take up too many resources. My only complaint is that in thsi latest version it has talking ads, and it pops the AIm window to the front when they load, even if you're in the middle of a game grrrr:|

AIM. ICQ I quit using after my quaking days were over. MSN Messenger I use to talk to one friend and for email notifications. But AIM by far

used to use icq until they totally messed it up by patching all the useless features and buttons to it. and the lite version lacks critical basic features.

msn is nice and is what i use now

You really need IRC in your poll. Go get a room on undernet, tell your friends about it, and uninstall MSN :D

cant agree. i know mane 'not-geeks' incl. girls who use Yahoo :) Many are on yahoo for emails...you only need to d/l the messenger and install it.....nothing geeky about it. AIM is for 'tards :)

For me, it's either ICQ or AOL. MSN Messenger is like last, because i'm sure everyone knows that it can be unreliable at times.

As much as I hate it AIM...those same tards everyone speaks of also happen to be 90% of the businesses online. We need conferencing also. AIM gets the job done even if it's flakey.

I'd like a better solution but then we alienate our clients.

Gaim, but AIM gets the most use. I dont care for AIM that much, but everyone I know is on it.
