Just curious. I use Gaim but I'm having problems w/Yahoo and the Trillian people I know are too. I use the AIM and Yahoo part of Gaim. What about you?
aim! its pretty cool i have yahoo too, but not too many friends on yahoo yahoo has better feature than aim though. wassap wit dat? lol -vic
I think most IM clients are evil: I use IRC, but I have contacts I'm forced to use msn or yahoo with. I think I've had less trouble with msnim than any other similar Network (ICQ, AIM. YAHOO...) I use Trillian when I'm not soley on IRC - makes life easier.
I think that since a lot of people had AOL at some point in time, it's easier to just stick with what you know. That and it's easier to hide from people on AIM
There is a comprehensive thread on how to set up IRC clients in the Announcements forum. Me? I use Gaim, mainly because my older brother wrote more than 50% of the source code.
msn messenger... used to use icq in the beginning (hella long time ago... 8 years ago?), then switched to aim cause icq just got way overloaded... then just went on msn because none of my friends had aim so, now i'm with msn.
I use IchatAV for the Mac. Excellent interface. Also use YM but the Mac version is lacking in features like voice, chatrooms etc..
