Poll - Favorite IM Protocol/Type
NOTE: I’m not counting the third party programs, such as Gaim, Trillian, etc. Gaim and the rest only offer a program to use these protocols, and aren’t actually protocols themselves.

AIM bothers me because of its lack of options (i can’t stand that the messages pop up in front of a window i am working in. I turned it off of my work machine cause it bugged me). I read an article that MSN now has the most users. I am going to try GAIM next.

AIM, cause everyone I know is on it. My second favorite is Yahoo.

I’m still an ICQ fan. I guess a lot of that has to do with the fact that I started on ICQ. I like a lot of the features though especially now that the names are portable. I will say that was annoying at first but they were able to fix it.
I do enjoy playing games on the latest MSN with other people on your buddy list. Thats kind of cool. A..we need to play another game of Nertz

I used to use ICQ, it was my first too. Then they made it too complicated and fancy. Too many features… so I went away from it. I do have a pretty small ICQ #, 402730.

I started off using ICQ while at Georgetown, since that’s what everyone used down there. When I moved back to Northern KY, my friends all used AIM. That’s when I found out about Trillian, so I could use both without having two separate programs running. And now I use Gaim… Don’t have much use for the MSN games and such, so it works fine for me.

I use GAIM as well. I personally like Yahoo! out of all of them the best for three major reasons:
1) You get a heck of alot more emoticons with Yahoo!
2) You can send messages to people when they arn’t online.
3)The length of a message can be substantionally (sorry for mis spelling) longer.
However almost ALL my friends use AIM. I mean everybody has that. But none of that really matters with GAIM cause you have everything right there. I’ve been spreading the good word about GAIM, gotten a few friends to switch to it.
