What IM service do you use?
« on: October 18, 2008, 07:24:56 AM »
From a SysAdmin position, I am curious what IM SERVICES you use.  I am not interested in the client that you use to access the server.

Let me know if I have left anything out.  You can vote for more than one service.

Thanks

You forgot Google Talk (GTalk).  :)

I'm surprised more people use MSN than AIM.

I'm usually on Yahoo but I do have an MSN account only because it came with my passport account from years ago.

I had a small ICQ number from back then too, but I don't remember what it was. ICQ's account recovery options suck.

I want to find out what it is, so I can have some e-penis enlargement.  ;D

I really don't see irc as an instant chat service as it once was back in the day.

There is no traffic in #paintball like there once was.

I'd like to see a geographical distribution here!  I'm pretty sure that very very few europeans use AIM, but MSN and ICQ as well as XFire are quite popular in the old world.
