Community poll forum: Which instant-messaging application do you use the most?

I use yahoo messanger all the time, been using it for 6 years now. I love the smileys. It is also easy to use. Any begininer can figure it out.

I use the new windows Live 8 still has some things that need to be worked out but it is still pretty good. Cece3

It is fantastic to see such a turnout on this issue,everyone's choices,decisions,are equally valid regardless of whether someone else agrees or not.
As for me,I sincerely can't see anyone using Trilliam as an instant messenger--unless your new,don't/didn't have any other messengers to start with.I too,took it installed it and re-booted to finish off the process.Before I even got to try it,soon as it was loaded,it took complete control of Yahoo and Msn,removed all addresses from them and disabled them.Deleted it asap,had to re-install both Yahoo and Msn.The only one it didn't begger up was Skype.I'm pretty much game to try any and all new products but there's no way in heck a messenger program is going to dictate what I use or when.Have had no conflicts with either Yahoo or Msn since their earliest versions and Skype gets along well with both,all 3 running same time.Different strokes for different folks is the reason for 3.Those in different parts of the world like/prefer this or that and if you wish to communicate--well,you get the one they use,no argument there.
The only one I haven't experienced is Google.I have literally everything Google has to offer except Gmail.Don't need it with a premium browser with it's own email client built in and a 3gb storage for free.If and when Google ever disables/gives up that provision,I'll have Google IM tootsweet.Google is great otherwise,any and all features I have are instantly updated as something new is added without having to check it out myself.
Well,that's my nickles worth for today.Everyone have a swell Easter.Enjoy today as there may not be a tomorrow.SS

I am a frequent gamer, and I use Xfire, a lesser-known, but awesome IM client that lets you talk while playing(voice and text) It shows you if your friends are playing a game, and if they are playing in a server online, and you have the game they're playing, you can click a button, and Voila, You're in the game!
You can also take screenshots easily, and group chatting is awesome for communicating with your team while pwning the other team! it's free too, and their is only one ad, whch is not a big deal. you can also download custom skins for it, and you can make your own too!
