What instant messaging (IM) software do you use?

Hmmm, a little late, but here's the Friday poll folks!

In the age of personal messaging and voice chat, many of us have decided to use some software to regularly check up on our buddies online.

So, what instant messaging (IM) software do you use? If you use two or three different IM software regularly, which one do you use the most?

I don't use any. But, after reading up on Trillian today, I'm considering using it.

I have a question about Trillian. Do I need to sign up with one of the supported IM services or does Trillian have their own system?

I just installed it on my system, and I think you can sign up without having to be a member of the other IMs ...

I've been using ICQ exclusively for the past few years, but just a couple weeks ago I downloaded AIM so I could send UhOk a file..I also seem to have MSNM installed, though I don't remember downloading it.

1. MSN messenger these days.

2. ICQ - but use it seldom, because I had to keep asking people to re-add me. I don't like the "new" version at all!

3. Tried Yahoo messenger and didn't like it at all

4. AOL? what is that? hehe

I use AIM just because all my friends have it and it makes it easy to chat.

I used other because I don't use any of them and someone forgot the " I never use one" option.

Well since my ISP is Aol+, then its AIM, but I use AIM seperately sometimes to send or receive files from people I know.

Ive used MSN Messenger before, and hated it and I never took the time to figure out ICQ.

Trillian all the way. With over 300 contacts, there's no way I could just pick one - I have people I talk to on all four clients, so Trillian is a huge convenience for me.
