Poll question: What IM software do you use?

Yes, dear, I'm still on my ICQ hatin kick

[greatauntoftriplets]

Which, of course, includes them all including Google Talk now.

[Catch22Dem]

5. Why are you hatin' ICQ?

Did they make a big change recently?

[DS1]

14. No, it's sucked for years

even WITH the gimmicky graphics :eyes:

[Catch22Dem]

21. HAHA, yeah that's bad

I haven't seen that. I haven't used ICQ for about 2 years now. Hopefully Google will get gTalk whipped into shape soon. They have a few things they need to work on. They definitely need file xfer and multiuser chat.

It also is responsible for all those inadvertently posted "woofs" and it makes your neighbor's dog bark at ungodly hours as well.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Yahoo

[auntAgonist]

11. ICQ and Yahoo

[tjdee]

13. I hate ICQ too. Ever since forever. I use MSN

because I like all the extras. And by that I mean basically, nice pictures/graphics/emoticons. And the nudge feature! Love the nudge feature.

:silly:

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I use MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo...

AIM and ICQ via Miranda IM, and the other two on their own.

I have Google Talk installed, but haven't used it.

[DS1]

16. I used Trillian for a while

but it was dropping messages, which is ENTIRELY unacceptable

[ghostsofgiants]

17. I tried Trillian but never liked it

Miranda is great.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

18. Signal Flags.

[DS1]

19. Upgraded from banging on some fallen trees, did ya?

Congrats!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

26. Hey even cave men evolve

or are we led by inteligent designers?

[SarahB]

22. AOL IM I guess.

My daughter is the only one who uses it though. Seem to be the software of choice for her gang of middle schoolers.

If I want to "chat', I prefer talking on the phone or better yet, existing in the same actual space with the other person- i.e. go to lunch, have them over, spend a few days together, etc. Call me weird, but I'm not much into cyber anything these days beyond a few minutes here and there on short e-mails. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

23. M.S.N.

I've got Yahoo Messenger as well - but nobody on my list on contacts with whom I could chat - whereas I have a fair few on M.S.N. (with two different user-names).

I've only been using it for a little while - it still impresses me that I can be chatting with somebody on the other side of the planet so quickly and with so little fuss.

[SOteric]

24. Yeah, yeah. I'm training some carrier pidgeons.

Sarky git. :*

[nickgutierrez]

25. Yahoo, AIM, and MSN - all in one (Adium) n/t

[DanCa]

27. Yahoo

I recently got rid of aol for finicial reason. I am really impressed with yahoo audio.
