Which Messenger do you use?

Which one is your favourite Messenger?

 

I use
Yahoo Messenger
Gtalk

 

I use Windows Live Messenger

 

None, I use email or phone to get ahold of people

 

Pidgin. It's FOSS, baby! and talks to any service I want.

 

Windows Live Messenger.

 

Same here.I did not vote because there is no option for "none"

 

Digsby with email and facebook notification, with IM protocols like facebook chat, gtalk, aim, wlm, yahoo. I recently removed ICQ protocol due to daily mallware requests.

 

I just use a homing pigeon, but it's not terribly instant.

 

None . Emails and SMS for me.

 

WTW

 

Windows Live Messenger - and I only use it because all my friends use it as well.

 

I used to have the Yahoo! messenger but its plug-in started to crash Opera 10 so I got rid of it. Good riddance...

 

Ditto


Cheers

 

Lol, i use Windows Live Messenger but accidentally voted for Windows Messenger, i think both are the same

 

I use Pidgin and Gmail web chat.

 

Windows messenger for me been using it ever since i 1st got the pc, i would use miranda mainly because i can skin it and its light on resources but then i wont have the drag and drop image share and voice/webcam etc

 

Ditto, exactly.

 

Why do people use Skype ?

I see 10+ votes for Skype. Aren't you concerned about your privacy with it ?

 

Pidgin for IM, Skype for VOIP and Video, best quality one can get.

 

For clear sound and video chat, Skype's P2P tech is the only way out for now, this is how I stay in touch with my family when I am traveling. I have family spread across the globe so its indispensable.

 

I use Pidgin to use WLM.

 

Live Messenger
Skype
Steam
X-Chat (IRC)

 

Privacy?? If I remember right, every user automatically creates their own certificate and calls are encrypted with one another. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

mmm i use Yahoo Messenger...
