    Sadly I have to admint to using AIM . I find ICQ to much of a hassel and since I've never used it the interface isn't very intutive. I'll stick to to much simpler AIM for now.

    AOL IM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Pager. I have them all; however, I recently got my hads on an unreleased staff version of aim 4.4 and it is by far the best im'er out there.

    I like AIM the best, also chekc out Jabber, it combines all these instant messaging programs into one. It's open source and still has lots of bugs, but the idea is great. You can find out about it at http://www.jabber.com and http://www.jabber.org

    Lightbulb Both have their goods and bads

    The newer versions of ICQ are really, really similar to AIM. They have buddy lists (which can be divided into co-workers, friends, family, etc.), and a window option where everything you and the other person say stays in the same window. It is very similar to AOL.

    The only problem is that they've gotten loaded with features that nobody needs. I mean, who would use ICQ for e-mail? (no offense intended if you do). Who wants to send greeting cards over ICQ? The result is about a 5 MB download for a program that used to only be 500K or so.

    Most of my friends have AIM, so I use both. Maybe I'll look into jabber. That sounds pretty cool.

    That's a cool feature! I like ICQ 2000b because it's got free SMS sending! (very useful), ICQ phone (also very useful), IRC style chat (ok) and greeting cards!

    Now all it needs is buddy icons and loose it' AOL connections and I'd be happy!
