I use MSN. But I customize it to get rid of the crap, and honestly, I thiknk it's the best than the others. Gtalk is too plain and no one uses it. AIM is for adults in the US, and Yahoo is for people who live in the 3rd world.

 

 

 

And well, IRC is for nerds (no offense).

I prefer IRC. Much easier to use and more customisable in my opinion. Group chat is also much better than others, whilst still maintaining a good 1 to 1 system.

I use IRC, GTalk and MSN. IRC is good for multi-chats and for chats that are quiet much of the time but don't become awkward because of it. GTalk is nice and simple and I use it for phone calls with my parents. MSN I use for chats with the less techy friend groups I have. I don't really have a preference, they're just good for different situations.

For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.

I've never been a big fan of proprietary systems and wish more people would use Email and IRC more often.

 

 

 

 

 

I like Skype because of it's end to end encryption and p2p network, but without people to talk to there's little point in installing it. Plus it's not open source.

 

I also like the FaceBook chat feature (it's just convenient) but the client (web based) sucks. Again no open source (I wish they would add Jabber support to it.)

 

 

 

Over all I prefer platforms that allow cross communication between users on different networks (Email, Phones, Jabber), and allow you to move your address/handle/number when you switch provider (Email, Phones)

 

 

 

EDIT: I mostly use my phone and email because I know allot of people who don't use IM.

theese polls are surprising. i find more and more people idling msn and going towards facebook. Myspace is also growing as a way for amatuers to show their stuff. Ive never tried it but that skype video calling thing looks sweet, the future of long distance!

Being a Mac user, I've always used AIM through Apple's program, iChat. I also use MSN, but the interfaces are extremely bulky and ugly.

I've used only MSN and AIM. MSN has to be about 5 times better then AIM .. multiple people in a convo, doesn't look as badly, not-annoying smileys, webcam, can draw, looks much better. Actually, I only have AIM because everyone in my school uses it. I only know one person who uses MSN. Such a shame.

I use MSN, I just have never gotten into any of the others.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.
