Do you chat? Why is it that you chat? What is the best chat client in your view?

Hello :) I used to chat often when I first had the internet, about 10 years ago now. These days, I still do so once in a great while...I don't think it a waste of time, but I no longer have as much time to do so. It is a good way to keep in touch with others or exchange information, and is much less costly than making a long distance phone call to do so. My favorite instant messaging service is AOL and next would be Yahoo. The others I've used seem very slow and unreliable in comparison, including the one on Facebook. Karen

Hi, when I am working, I always keep my MSN open, even I don't chat with others, I will keep it open, actually I like chatting with friends online, after graduated, we live in different city, and we don't call each other a lot, we always choose to connect each other from the internet, and chatting online is a best way to keep the relationship between each other, so I like that.

I got hooked on IRC chat when I first came on the internet about 14 years ago. It was the only thing I knew about the internet! I think it fills a need for some people for a time, but it's easy to become addicted to it. mIRC was the greatest client back when I was chatting, but I don't know if it's even available any more.

i am the one who is not much interested in chatting because i think that it will grab our without any use.If we chat with someone we know then no problem.other ways it is just a waste of time

okay i can't provide you with the best chat client i ever used cause i only use msn and yahoo's. people like to chat cause we are created in that way which is to link / communicate / interact with others. we were given a mind to think of great ideas and solutions. once we have such ideas the next thing we normally would do is - share with others. there is so much joy when you share what you know with others. i think people like to chat it becomes an addiction is that they enjoy chatting with people so much but they have to remember that they have things to be done

I chat in order to keep in touch with friends that are far away or just people I don't tend to see around in person. It can get addicting if you have a lot of friends that you want to talk to. I personally like to use AIM and SKYPE for chatting. AIM, because I'm most familiar with the client and because I've been using it ever since I was in elementary school. SKYPE because I can call my friends and talk to them through mics and webcam. Chatting is just more convenient sometimes that calling on the phone. Though calling on the phone is definitely popular, you can talk to a lot more people at once through chatting online.

hi getbiswaa... i just wanted to answer your posted questions. Yes i do chat. The reason i chat is to keep in touch with my family and friends. In the same manner i can also meet other people from the different parts of the world by sharing new ideas with them. the best client is those who use this as descent as they are and not for making fun out of other people.

Chatting cuts down on time. When you chat, more often then not its instant. Its like holding a conversation over the computer which it is. For me chatting is important because I can talk to my friends without worrying about running down the battery in my cell phone or disturbing either George, or their family members. I however, stick mostly to instent messaging between myself and rarely go into a chat room. If I do, its because I have to talk to more than one person about the same subject and its faster then going back and forth between tabs. I have gone between several chat clients over the years. The one I use the most often is AIM. I'll sometimes use windows live, but I like aim a lot better. I like Aim because it works with my screan reader a lot better then other chat clients including Windows live. I used to use Windows live for the same reasons, but my scripts need some serious updating and I'm broke.
