Better way to keep contact with your friends, family or loved ones. Of course the top 3 that I know is Yahoo, MSN & Trillian - but often use yahoo more - for one most of my family and friends use this especially those in the Philippines. I'm not a big fan on the webcam unless someone asks me to put it on - I don't tend to chat with people I don't know usually just surfing different types of chatrooms because I believe most people on there would scam or lie about their true identity.

I only chat with people that I know through instant messenger. I used to use both Yahoo and AOL. Yahoo always seemed to mess my computer up though, so now I only use AOL.

Exactly! It is more secure and convenient to chat with people who you really know. I mean with all the strangers and fake identities that people do while online. Yahoo messing up your computer? But how so? But yeah there are times it will have certain issues.

I always use yahoo messenger as it is quite convenient and useful. I have got friendslist and also mobile activation so whenever my friends are online i get instant message.

I like to use MSN because no more strangers will bother you. Long time ago I tried ICQ, there were many strangers would bother you and it's quite annoying. Besides, most of my friends and colleagues use MSN. So I like to use it to communicate with others.

I use Yahoo Messenger more often. Pretty much the same chat program we both use. Earlier we were using speaking to each other on the headset.

nowadays I use 3 different IMs to keep in touch with my friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues…MSN, Yahoo Messenger and Gtalk. My primary IM is msn messenger though, as I've been using it for the past 5 years or so. i've just started using yahoo messenger and gtalk, coz most of my colleagues are on it, so that's why I'm using it as well hehe.

All of my friends use MSN and so I do it the same. I've tried Yahoo messenger in the past but IMHO it was awful. Maybe now it has improved, I don't know. What is Trillian, by the way?
