I am using MSN primarily. Yahoo is also good..i found it better for voice/video chats. I have yet to try the new GoogleTalk as its blocked in my network for now.

Oh, man - I JUST downloaded and installed AIM last night so a friend could send me some of her files. Blah. I hate it. I'm actually uninstalling it as I type this, oddly enough.

 

I prefer Yahoo just because I use some of their other services anyway, as do most of the people I actually care to keep in touch with.

 

But does anyone remember using ICQ when it was first released (i.e. before it really started to suck)? Man, that used to be a good IM prog.

Does those all-in-one IM programs count also? I have tried Trillian, Miranda and GAIM before.Trillian is really great, but can be a huge resource hog at times, especially when you're chatting with a bunch of users. Miranda is lightweight, but I had some problems with it connecting to MSN and IRC.The one I'm trying out right now is GAIM, which is an open-source program. So far, it looks and works good. Plain and simple, which is how I like it.

i use yahoo just because it was the first one i tried as i had a yahoo account and most of my friends use yahoo....well, before gmail came out. i'd like to try the google talk chat, as generally what comes from google is avant-garde and miles ahead of the competitors.

I use trillian as I have most IM services. also google talk works with it.

I like AIM, simply because it has the most users, and I don't know anyone that I chat with who uses MSN or Yahoo.I do use both MSN and Yahoo at times, but I use AIM much more frequently.

I think most of you that know me, will now feel the urge to shoot me. I prefer Skype. I have always liked voice chat, even though it's a killer for my allotted transfer amount a month. The voice is far more clearly than on MSN, and actually uses less resources. The only thing I can't do, is host a 3 or 4 way conversation. That just kills my personal BW, but if someone else hosts it, then yep it works fine I have tried GoogleTalk once, but I am not too sure if I like it. But then again, I haven't added people to it ;)I dislike AIM the most of all IM services. It's a very unforgiving service, with the flood protection, which can get so annoying.Yahoo, I only use to talk to a few people I know. Mostly a close friend who uses it while she's at work. Other then that, I don't start it up much. MSN, however; is almost always connected. I don't care for MSN much with the ads, all the "buy our smilies" etc, but everyone else uses it. So to an extend that forces me into using it as well.

I mostly use AIM, but I maybe getting MSN and Yahoo accounts soon. As for clients, I don't use AOL's, I use Gaim. It's very nice, and it also supports Jabber, MSN, a few others (possibly Yahoo), and even IRC.

[sarcasm]if you like bloated interface, useless options, noobish winks/sounds/buzzers and banners MSN 7 is the best for you.If you like text messaging, sending files and simplicity. GAIM does the job perfectly.[/sarcasm]

Yahoo tops the list Friends.! Its a real fact that Features like yahoo cant be matched... I've tried trillian ..But the smileys in trillian just are so boring and not animated ones!In yahoo i love the new feature of Audibles .. So we can express more with yahoo ! Icq,msn,gaim,trillian,g talk look very boring to me.! The Im with minimum features i saw was google talk.. Its interface is unfriendly too ! I would rank this way...1.yahoo2.Msn3.gaim..skype is just good for voice chat!For chatting Yahoo !
