View Full Version : IM Me
If you had to choose one instant messanger SERVICE over all the others, which one would it be?
I actually don't have a preference. Each of them has something the others don't. Thanks to you, I like trillian the best, as it combines the best of all of them. (Except it doesn't have the fun backgrounds Yahoo! has.)
You usually use ICQ to talk to me. If you had to choose one, which would it be?
AIM, because everyone I know uses it.

I like yahoo because of the invisibility feature, I don't have to respond to someone if I don't want to. (and the drawing game is kinda silly too)

why is trillian not listed ?
I have to vote for that, its the best in my opinion, or maybe this poll should of been title whats the best Instant Messenger service, as trillian wouldn't be listed in the poll then. :)
I would of choose ICQ otherwise I love the protocol/service but I hate the application itself, dont like the adverts but it does have a few good features.
Trillian is a program that combines all of the different Instant Messengers. You still use one of the messangers above to contact people. ;)

True
But! I say Trillian for Instant Messenger program and ICQ for service.
Please try to work with me, here. You have to choose one of those clients to message someone, whether you use Trillian or not. Which one do you click on?

MSN is the best for me. I just got MSN6 beta and it is awesome. It has tons of new features.
Oooh! What does it do?

I can send it to u guys if u want...Add me to MSN platinumblonde02@woh.rr.com
Hihi! I did but missed you. Give me a jingle when you can. :)
Got to vote for IRC as it is the true 'mother' of all chat protocols. The rest are just ugly babies :) It's also the only one which can't be tied one or other commercial organization. By the way, an important one was left out: Jabber. Fairly new but completely open-source, multi-platform and without annoying ads.
I vote for AIM, because I'm a sheep and love the most massive online medium to date. Baaa. Baaa.
You too, eh?

For:
AIM as a lot of folks I know use it and it's never given me any trouble,
Against:
MSN because it's all bound up with other MS stuff and will refuse to shut down unless you also shutdown outlook.
