MSN Messenger 7.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Voice clips and it's pretty good when combined with MSN Plus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I use bitlbee to keep track of my other msn account, my aim account, and my yahoo account, because it's so much easier in an IRC fashion)

I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

I haven't used an instant messenger in ages. The last one I used was Trillian, and it was pretty good. I used my AIM name with it.

MSN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone I converse with uses it. With no exception.

Offline and unavailable.

Trillian. It can connect to all the popular services, its skinnable, no BS (adverts etc.), no space-wasting and it is incredibly customisable from the point of view of making it do the things you want it to.

Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

So it's just AIM-MSN-Yahoo all in one? I've heard a few people on about it, tempted to get myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But for now I use MSN. Mainly because it seems most user friendly, easily customisable and widely used.

 

 

 

I LOL @ AOL.

It is AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It also provides support for others via plugins.

MSN. It's kinda hard to find people here who uses something else.

I use AIM but love MSN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MSN is nice and organized, AIM is way to basic but most annoyingly I keep forgetting who is who. With over 80 people on there and everyone having nonsensical names... you don't want to know how many times I mistook someone for someone else and said the wrong thing #-o

With trillian you can rename your contacts.

As well as with iChat. I love it.

For you IRC junkies out there:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shameless bitlbee plug :P just connect your client to im.bitlbee.org and follow the instructions

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since this was probably aimed at which service people use, I use AIM, MSN and Yahoo. Have all 3 in one IM client like Trillian makes it nice and easy. :mrgreen:

Skype, but then also run Trillian most since few friends use skype.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's no argueing unless you're on a slower computer that Trillian pwns AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. Afterall, it is them all :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love being able to get past all the messenging problem where a friend uses AIM and another MSN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, trillian is much safer.

Trillian for sure... my friend uses some other program similar to trillian, starts with an M I beleive, can't remember it for the life of me, but he swears by it.

...

Miranda IM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, for multiprotocol clients I prefer Gaim. Though, I have no need for multiprotocol clients because of IRC on irssi.

I use MSN but I really want to use Jabber. Open standards ftw. Only problem is that all my friends use MSN so it's kind of hard to switch :( Vendor lockin is teh evil.

mIRC - For darkwebz / arenascape / downloading

 

 

 

MSN - For everyone (pretty much)

 

 

 

ICQ - For my bf2 clan - otherwise I wouldn't have it, piece of [cabbage] program

 

 

 

Skype - For business related contacts.

 

 

 

x-fire - Gaming related contacts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea, it varies quite a bit.

Windows Live Messenger. I've never used something else (okay, MSN Messenger..)

At least, I think that.

Windows Messenger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The msn network without the stupid crap.
