Errdoth Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Pidgin pidgin pidgin! Favorite protocols would be IRC, Gtalk, and Skype Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The IRC to me is quite broad, and vague when actually considering 1 on 1 conversations between friends, which is what those instant messengers are about, even if they run on the same basis as the IRC, or are basically the same thing. Then again let's try and get 10 random kids from High School to actually use the IRC effectively. :lol: MSN for the win, has the most options, customizable layouts, very use friendly, nice GUI, and it has good customer service. The others hardly compare if you ask me. Though IRC is better than MSN technically, but MSN is better than the IRC because of simple popularity if you ask me, and that's what counts.

champion Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I use both :P Google Talk has a nice, compact interface, but MSN has many more options. So I'd have to say MSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer989 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 google talk can be used with many more programs than the one 'offered' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My preferred method of communication is verbal communication. You may want to change the title of your poll to "favorite method of Instant Messaging" or something less broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmanuel1233 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i choose msn, im not gunna lie i never heard of the other ones except AIM (which i never tried before) so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I use msn because it's the most popular. Some friends are like, 'oh yeah add my aim address' etc, and no-one can because we don't have it. Irc is good for group chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I mumble. Thus, I don't like communication verbally. I rarely use phones, only if someone calls me or if it's really important. (And my cell phone is a last resort) I can talk to face-to-face, but eh, unless I'm already with that person (For example, at school), I'll stick to e-mail/IM. So...A while ago, before Gmail was out, I used Yahoo!, for mail and for IM. But after Gmail, Google Talk...It's just too much easier, being able to chat out of the actual e-mail website. I've never really been a fan of MSN or AIM, though I may consider it if I get a new laptop, I have a few friends who use them. I also use Xfire, you might want to add that to your poll (If possible). It's perfect for while you game, which is quite often for me and my friends. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

VjuliusT Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Well I use Trillian so I can talk to everyone in a single program ;) (MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ and IRC), Compact interface compared to MSN as well. Well, MSN is the best one in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blushenka Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Meh, the smilies on MSN are only surpassed in ugliness by the new smilies on this forum. I'm not liking it so much, but it sure beats Yahoo. My absolute favourite is Google Talk, though. Simple and nice is all I ask for. Too bad most people don't use it. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

stargazer989 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 imho multi-functionality isn't something i like. it tends to focus on one thing more than the other and then some features become neglected or ALL the features it might have had don't make it cause "they're too hard to do" or "people aren't really going to use it to their full extent." things like that make me say "then why bother making a program that can access ALL THOSE without full feature access ?"

Stephen9o3 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I use different programs for different things. Everyone from my school uses MSN, so that's what I use for general talking to friends. I have GMail and I sometimes use Google talk to talk to my mom who is at work and doesn't have MSN. I use the new Facebook chat thing to talk to people I have on facebook but I dont have on MSN. I use IRC for group chats. Combat FTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
