| | Hi everyone I was wondering which IM have you used or are you using now?
I have MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and AIM installed on my computer right now. But I use MSN most of the time since it's where most of my contacts are. I tried Trillian as well but I abandoned it since it doesn't have audio or video capabilities.
I've also heard of open source IMs but I haven't really tried them.
Any ideas or experiences? |

Yeah yahoo indeed has the best user interface I think. But considering most of my contacts don't use yahoo... Is there a really decent IM out there that supports all of yahoo, MSN, aim?

I think you should either try Trillian or GAIM. They are made to support AIM, MSN, Yahoo and ICQ. Try them and see which one you like better.

AIM is the best in my opinion. Although I've never tried Yahoo, I can say that MSN and ICQ aren't good at all. MSN really sucks *bottom*, it has a horrible graphical interface, and the layout just really sucks...you can't adjust your settings easily...if you're even lucky to figure out where you adjust your settings! ICQ isn't as bad as MSN, but it's pretty close. Having to send people invites to join your buddy list kind of defeats the purpose. It's really retarded in my opinion.

I have AOL Instant Messanger, but that's just because it defaulted with the software. Normally, I don't chat very much, but I do find it very easy to use and customize. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I cant put up my own Icons...or at least i havn't figured out how to do that yet.

I believe the answer would be different from one region and another. I am from Indonesia, from where I come, MSN is the most popular Instant Messenger. I have tried all from Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, to MSN...and I would say MSN is the best because not only it is faster, it is simple to use. Not to mention that it is not that big in size. Plus, it is recommended by Microsoft. LoL

My favorite messenger is Yahoo! Messenger. I've been a loyal fan of it since 2001. I love all of it's capabilities. The only thing I don't like about it is that many of my friends don't use it - they're more partial to AIM. (I do use AIM too but I don't like it as much as I like Yahoo! Messenger.) However, all of the pros of Yahoo! Messenger far outweigh the one con of not many of my friends actually using it. Plus, it's really the only messenger I've ever found to be reliable for me personally, as AIM has a tendency to freeze on me - and don't even get me started on MSN/Windows Live! Haha!

I think Skype is one of the best out there. You can talk to people in voice, by text, even by video. It's loads of fun when you get people you know together just to have a nice conversation.

From all the messengers, hands down i think Yahoo is the worse, it has cool aspects, but i find it unreliable and mostly no one has it. GMAIL is amazing but not as many have it MSN would have to be the most used, you have your privacy plus you have the ability to costumize a bunch of the aspects and such. AIM is unreliable for me, just because anyone can talk to you, you can block someone, they can make a new id, and bam see if your online without having to accept the friend request at all. & lets face it i do not know anyone who actually makes use of the AIM email. Go with aim if your a myspace *BLEEP* or something
