IRC is the best around, also because of the power to program things into it!

I go with AIM just because everyone I know uses it. I tried Yahoo and only a few people I know had it so I deleted it. I tried MSN and uninstalled it for the same reason.

Gaim should have been among the choices, but oh well, yahoo it is then.
Reason?
My family use it and the voice chat is awesome. surely beats .20/min on phone cards, and quality getting on the same par with skype.

Why do people keep saying IRC? In my knowledge IRC isn't an instant messenger.

I'm using ICQ because I'm used to it and most of my friends use it. Skype si kind of cool too ...

Don't know why but never liked MSN niether Yahoo messanger.

I use all of them. My friends use different ones, so to keep in contact with them I use them all.

I use MSN, because it is the most common here in Europe. AIM is completely unknown here, ICQ is rarely used. And most of my friends are registered at MSN, I use only this one to talk with them. (Instead of phone, SMS or e-mail...)

BTW, here in Hungary there is a popular network just like MySpace, called iWiW. (as far as I know, it is international, but I haven't ever seen any international members there...)

I voted other, because I don't really have a favorite since I can use all of those along with gtalk and others in one application called Gaim.

It's free, it's open source, it runs on serveral operating systems and it's just plain cool.

other ... where is the Jabber?

by **phaseon** on Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:23 pm

MSN,all my family members and friends have one so its the obvious choice

by **uzair** on Sat Jul 29, 2006 10:01 pm

My vote will be for MSN because it works nicely as compared to yahoo because yahoo always closes abruptly giving error in ypager.exe file......and i don't use other IMs.
