What instant messaging service and client do you use?






I only use MSN messenger with the MSN messenger client regularly.

I also have and sometimes use:

*Skype
*MIRC (irc client)
*ICQ

Believe it or not, Yahoo version 5.5.0.1254! Anything after that and you can't save offline messages. Yes, I know it's up to version 8.

I prefer open standards

I use Jabber/XMPP for messaging. Some client programs you may have heard of:
Windows ---
• Pandion
• Exodus
• Gaim (now Pidgin, thanks to a lawsuit from AOL) (Multi-Protocol, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc...)
• Gajim
• Spark
• PSI
Linux ---
• Gajim
• Gaim (Pidgin) (Multi-Protocol, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc...)
• Spark
OS X ---
• Adium (Multi-Protocol, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc...)
• Proteus (Multi-Protocol, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc...)
• Spark
• PSI

And more that I can't remember.

Before the sites I'm running on my server started to consume too many system resources, I ran my own Jabber server.

Unfortunately, some people are still stuck in the ancient times and use AIM (hence the only reason I still have an AIM account, for those people).

i use AIM only because most of friends have kept their old screen names from ages ago and haven't stepped it up yet..

MSN messenger is best for me though.=]
