What IM software do you use?

[DS1]

Yes, dear, I'm still on my ICQ hatin kick

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. You left out Yahoo.

:shrug:

[Catch22Dem]

2. Yes

HEHEHE. I use all of the above. If you alter the choices I can vote.

[salvorhardin]

3. GAIM

Which, of course, includes them all including Google Talk now.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. I don't IM.

but the teens use AIM.

[Catch22Dem]

5. Why are you hatin' ICQ?

Did they make a big change recently?

[DS1]

14. No, it's sucked for years

even WITH the gimmicky graphics :eyes:

[Catch22Dem]

21. HAHA, yeah that's bad

I haven't seen that. I haven't used ICQ for about 2 years now. Hopefully Google will get gTalk whipped into shape soon. They have a few things they need to work on. They definitely need file xfer and multiuser chat.

[matcom]

6. none

IM is for suckers :P

[miss_kitty]

7. None

I disabled it, as a matter of fact.

Is Chatzilla dead?

[stellanoir]

8. preposition

[DS1]

12. It does the typing for you

DOH!

[stellanoir]

20. yup

It also is responsible for all those inadvertently posted "woofs" and it makes your neighbor's dog bark at ungodly hours as well.

[jus_the_facts]

9. AIM.....

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Yahoo

[auntAgonist]

11. ICQ and Yahoo

[tjdee]

13. I hate ICQ too. Ever since forever. I use MSN

because I like all the extras. And by that I mean basically, nice pictures/graphics/emoticons. And the nudge feature! Love the nudge feature.

:silly:

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I use MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo...

AIM and ICQ via Miranda IM, and the other two on their own.

I have Google Talk installed, but haven't used it.

[DS1]

16. I used Trillian for a while

but it was dropping messages, which is ENTIRELY unacceptable

[ghostsofgiants]

17. I tried Trillian but never liked it

Miranda is great.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

18. Signal Flags.

[DS1]

19. Upgraded from banging on some fallen trees, did ya?

Congrats!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

26. Hey even cave men evolve

or are we led by inteligent designers?

[SarahB]

22. AOL IM I guess.

My daughter is the only one who uses it though. Seem to be the software of choice for her gang of middle schoolers.

If I want to "chat', I prefer talking on the phone or better yet, existing in the same actual space with the other person- i.e. go to lunch, have them over, spend a few days together, etc. Call me weird, but I'm not much into cyber anything these days beyond a few minutes here and there on short e-mails. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

23. M.S.N.

I've got Yahoo Messenger as well - but nobody on my list on contacts with whom I could chat - whereas I have a fair few on M.S.N. (with two different user-names).

I've only been using it for a little while - it still impresses me that I can be chatting with somebody on the other side of the planet so quickly and with so little fuss.

[SOteric]

24. Yeah, yeah. I'm training some carrier pidgeons.

Sarky git. :*

[nickgutierrez]

25. Yahoo, AIM, and MSN - all in one (Adium) n/t

[DanCa]

27. Yahoo

I recently got rid of aol for finicial reason. I am really impressed with yahoo audio.
