So lets say just for discussion sake that AIM doesn't come back...

What would you switch to? Probably MSN or Yahoo here

 

[bleuiko]

googletalk

 

[Inappropriate4AT]

Whatever the people I converse with would switch to, I could give a sh!t less what program I'm using, they all display text.

 

[DaWhim]

msn, the world standard nowadays. once you outside US, most people use msn.

yahoo sucks.

 

[stan394]

icq, googletalk, msn, yahooIM

Agreed. I don't know why peopole bother comparing the clients when all it comes down to is what people use. If all my friends used iChat, I'd wait for a Windows version just to use it. I don't even have a Mac. If everyone went to jabber/googletalk, then same thing.

BTW, iChat uses AIM .

Agreed, I've found most outside the US all use MSN

AIM will be back man

 

[AMCRambler]

what'd be funny is if it was all a big plan to get everyone hooked on it, and now they are going to start charging a fee!

 

[Hough NutZ]

Wait, what happened to AIM? (I don't use aim) Has it been shut down?

 

[Eli]

MSN, Yahoo or ICQ.

 

[GoingUp]

workin for me right now

 

[AMCRambler]

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trey22]

I'd go to ICQ.

 

[daniel1113]

I am running six im services via Trillian anyway. Metacontacts rule.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

I'm not gettin AIM atm. I use MSN along side. I'd use trillian, but I'm too lazy to get it set up the way that I liked it.

 

[ed21x]

QQ =)

 

[Fraggable]

Trillian>*.

I didn't notice AIM was down, my dsl modem went down about the time it apparently went offline.

 

[RossMAN]

Either MSN or Yahoo

 

[aplefka]

Probably wouldn't switch to anything else because it'd be too widespread. Only reason I ever stopped using ICQ and started using AIM was because more and more n00bs starting using the internet and AIM was what they had.

 

[mugs]

Back? From where? Where'd it go?

 

[A5]

gaim ftw

 

[acemcmac]

it would have been a bigger deal in a world before cell phones
