What IM software do you use - 2008 ?

wow. didn't realize only a few people use yahoo.

 

Pidgin w/ OTR/Encryption

 

Miranda with plugins for AIM, Yahoo and GoogleTalk.

 

Usually just irssi for accessing IRC, then bitlbee so I can use irssi to use AIM, though sometimes I am in the mood for a pretty gui so i use pidgin then

Cheers,

The list is missing mIRC!

I been using that one for years to access IRC channels, really efficient communications app.

 

None.
Don't have a need for one. It's always amongst the first items to be disabled from a new OS install.
If someone needs me that urgently,(or vice versa) the phone does the job very well.

 

Ditto. No need for it what-so-ever.

None, it's bad enough when they want to get me on the phone.
I don't think it's the type of software that rates high with the antisocial hermit type

 

I use Yahoo Messenger and Trillian. I use those only for school work.

 

i chose none, because IRC was not on the list.

i use mIRC, always have and its great

 

I use Kadu, for polish protocol gadu-gadu. It just works.

 

I haven't listed it because mIRC is not considered Instant messaging software like the others offered

 

Miranda has all i need.

 

Trillian...
Hard to be in the small business network consulting business without needing an IM of all flavors.

 

pidgin & otr encryption plugin

 

Hi,

Windows Messenger closely watched by GeSWall.

None--at least not at work.

 

Pidgin

 

MSN messenger mainly
sometimes skype
pidgin portable

have used mIRC, ICQ and yahoo messenger... not anymore

I use what most of my friends use, otherwhise it's pointless

I liked ICQ, but everyone migrated to MSN 5 years ago, and it's boring to be "alone"

 

I've been trying CQPhone. I think it's one of the best Internet phone software hands down.

 

Back when I got my first computer and I wanted to try everything, I used an IM with AOL I think. Then every time I went on line folks would send me some silly dialog like Hi how's it going, or did you get my e-mail etc. After a while it became a pain in the a** so when I graduated to my second computer I never even clicked on it.

 

None. I have not seen a need for it.

 

Dropped Yahoo. Giving Miranda a try. Not bad, but takes some getting used to.
