What's better? I have MSN, and currently downloading YIM. Haven't tried AIM.
I like MSN cause the majority of my mates have it, but YIM is looking pretty nifty. Practically all the variations of 'lilabelle' 'moonbird' and 'lily sweet' are taken though. Ended up with lilabellelizard, an inside joke. Do add by the way, it's looking lonely.

They seem to have exactly the same features though.
Hmm.

I like my AIM very much. Haven't used YIM or MSN in forever, since I lack them.

ditto... but I recently got MSN since some of you losers have it... :P

I still like AIM better though.

Is it similar to the other two, do you know? Because I now realise that YIM and MSN are just...too...similar...

AIM is far superior... you can dock the buddy window, it helps tell you when people IM you, the IM windows themselves are a lot more organized... far superior.

Pidgin. Do a search. Download it. Use it. Love it.

I have AIM to talk to Althanians. No one else, really.

Dammit, after all the badgering and downloading, AIM's better. Ah well, none of my mates have AIM so I'd only use it for althanas people.

But I do like to pretend I have a social life from time to time.

I question the reputation of any messaging service thats name is one syllable off from that of a winged urban rat. :p

Trillian forever.

The people have spoken. Trillian is win.

Pidgin is good too, and I am a big supporter of open source, but Trillian is still free, which is the same thing to the common person who doesn't want to edit source code.

I used to use Trillian but I didn't like it all that much. I will go and give this Pidgin a go though

I had GAIM for awhile which did the same thing. Those programs are pretty cool.

Adium.

It now graces silly Windows users with its presence.

MSN is okay, but it's blocking out my messages to all my contacts O_o;

YIM is awesome because of the custom avatars.

AIM don't care.

I'd sum up Trillian's awesomeness in my own words, but Sorahn had to go and do it before me.

:(

Either way, Trillian FTW.

:p

Trillian.

Why hello there I haven't seen you around. I am the stud round these parts.

Just got Trillian. It's not bad. Wish I could set personal comments though like on MSN, and wallpapers and suchlike. But its awfully nice.

DB, apologies.

Trillian doesn't like my computer, it appears. When I have it open, I cannot type in any application except Trillian. Not IE, Firefox, Safari, Word, Wordpad, Works...when closed, everything works. This will be a pain.
