INSTANT MESSAGING thread

Who do you talk to on IM? What is your favorite IM client? What is your favorite protocol?

I use IM almost exclusively for talking to that Shadowinfinity guy who occasionally posts on Boyah (usually to mock me though) since we're bros and Rawl if he's on and sometimes Hiro talks to me too <3

And I use pidgin and prefer Windows Live but most of you faggots use AIM so I am forced to talk to you with that

[Andria]

I use almost entirely msn. I like it a lot better than aim.

I have a secretive aim account for my rl friends that only 6 people have.

And I use msn to talk to various people I have met across the internet over the past couple years

[bluaki]

I stick with Pidgin. I'm not quite sure of the differences between protocols for details like buddy icon size, chatroom support, filetransfer, voice/video support, etc., but I keep accounts enabled for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and Google/XMPP. I guess I prefer Google Talk out of them.

My buddy list has... 3 Google, 3 MSN, 7 AIM, and 1 Yahoo entry. The AIM and Yahoo entries are all people from either Boyah or real life, while my Google and MSN buddies are all from other parts of the Internet.

[Mando Pandango]

I manage everything in trillian, and I use aim 95% of the time, and MSN the other 5%. The IRC client isn't great, but it's passable.

[Samus Aran]

I could use Adium for everything, but really I only use it for AIM. Normally I hate AIM, but I really enjoy Adium's simple, sleek interface, so AIM is what you'll usually find me on. I do have MSN also, but I don't sign into that as often because I simply don't have as many still-relevant people on my MSN list.

[Hiro]

I use Pidgin with the Facebook plugin, so I get Facebook chat for real people, AIM for my fellow Boyageans

[FAMY2]

I seldom use anything. I have aim and msn but rarely sign on. 

[Cookie]

Yeah, 3 or 4 years ago I was on MSN a ton to chat with people from Nsider and stuff. And then for my friends from real life I used AIM.

[Infel]

I dropped everything and now hang around on Steam, which is just as good as an IM client anyways. Whenever I need MSN or AIM, I'll sign on Meebo. I got Skype, too, but eeeehhh.

[famy]

i use pidgin and only sign on to aim mostly and i only bother clucky and ypr and occasionally james |:

[Nyerp]

[Thyme]

i had AIM a few days ago but i uninstalled it

I always end up doing that.

[YPrrrr]

I use AIM pretty much exclusively except for when someone makes a special request for windows live.

I mostly talk to me##, kefka, rawl, hiro, and famy cjlubdoods;

[ME##]

I use Pidgin, mostly for AIM [for some reason I actually prefer the Windows Live client to Pidgin].



I usually talk to YPR, Aaron [Who is he again?], DP, Thief, JMV, Felt, Rawl, Tyler, Travis and Lacey when she's on Windows Live.
