Just curious what everyones favorite messenger was. Does anyone even use AIM anymore ? I ask because it seems anytime I mention AIM, people start telling me how horrible it is. My personal favorite is Yahoo. What is your favorite messenger and why?

I prefer Yahoo messenger. I've never tried iCQ so I couldn't say whether that's good or bad. I tried using MSN but it never worked on our computer when we tried to use it. I had AIM for a bit but got rid of it because there was only one other person I knew who used it and I only ever messaged her twice in all the time I had AIM so that was just pointless. And I wasn't really impressed with it because it was slow and there seemed to be lots of bits to it which didn't do anything.

I still use AIM. I like YIM, but it is a resource hog because it has so many features. I'm an old-hand though, and back when messengers first came out (AIM was among the very first), everyone used AIM, so I will keep it no matter what. You really never know who will pop up when!

Similar Q's have to get the same respones, here is mine:
Yahoo,sometimes, but I'd rather use Yahoo Vioce than key in a conversation. If you have a mike and hearphones or speakers, then try it, its like having a telephone conversation, PC to PC.

Yahoo Messenger. Been using it since 2004. Sometimes MSN.

My favorite is MSN Messenger, simply because it has the best interface and it's the most simple one to use. I've been using it for some 8 years or so now. I've tried ICQ in the past, but unfortunetly it seems most people have abandoned that instant messenger. It wasn't so bad actually. I've tried AIM once but I have to agree that it is pretty poor when compared to others. I've never tried that Yahoo Messenger though.

I've had all of them at one time or another. Each has its own positive use. Icq and aol got corrupted somehow. Now I use Yahoo. It's okay.

I am a big fan of MSN messenger. I switch over to it last year after using Yahoo for a few years. At first I wasn't impressed but all of my friends were moving there so I followed. Since they updated to the live messenger it has gotten so much better. I love all of the new features. I never have any problems with it so that is a plus.

After years of using online chat, I mostly use Yahoo Messenger now. I still have AIM, MSN, and ICQ, but I use them far less often than Yahoo! I like it bcause it is easy to load, many of my friends use it, and because it keeps an archive.
