What do you think is better?? MSN Messenger, AOL, or Yahoo messenger. I have MSN, and I think it's pretty good, but that's probably because all of my friends have it too. But which one do you think is better???

I use Trillian. It's a program that incorporates all 3 plus ICQ. That way you can communicate with anyone no matter which messenger they use. They have a free version which works just fine, as well as a paid for version. http://www.trillian.cc/

hmm...I've never heard of that. But thats good to know, maybe when I get a new computer I'll get that, right now this computer would probably shut down on me if I tried to download something..haha..

AIM is the best!

I enjoy AIM the best, followed by YIM. I use MSN Messenger on and off (in fact, I install and uninstall it from time to time) because not many people I know use it and last time I used it [had it, too] every time I signed on, I didn't have to type my username and password like I would like to after making sure repeatedly that I had selected the correct setting.

I prefer MSN.

ICQ is best, because it is more secure, but in Trillian you can have it all. I have a list about 50 people long and when, say, Garrett pops up on MSN, I see it, and when another friend pops up in Yahoo, I see it in the same screen.

Trillian also has IRC, so I can chat in Storm2K Chat at the same time

Wow, a lot of people seem to have Trillian. And to think I didn't even hear about this until ohhh...12 hours ago..haha

YIM is far too accesible to hackers, AIM is too "snoopy" and restrictive (although I have it, I don't use it much); MSN Messenger is my IM of choice.

"Trillian"? No thanks...I have a very hard time multi-tasking as it is.

No instant messaging for me. That's too much like the phone ringing. There's no one that I just "have to" talk to that fast.

I have all 3 main IM clents; I mainly use AIM; then YIM; and MSN comes in at 3rd place.

I used Trillian for a time, but didn't seem like I had a point to use it. I suppose I will download and install it in a few minutes.

MSN?? AIM?? YIM??
