My chat client supports them all, so they are all the same to me. I think I like AIM the best because just about everyone I know has it.

The best IM program depends on what most of your friends use.

Most of my friends use MSN (or WLM whatever lol). So thats what I use. No point in using, say Yahoo IM if you have no friends on it

I have 2 or 3 friends that use GT. I like how it saves chat logs and it's lightweight too. MSN comes in second. I wish my friends switched to GT so I don't get any annoying custom emoticons.

Though I am a bit of a hypocrite for saying that - I've had over 1200 custom emoticons for MSN ROFL

I don't like any of the "real" chat clients provided by the vendors. I hate all those stupid nudges and custom emoticons and emotivideos etc etc. If I have to choose between an official client, then GTalk just because it's simple and back to basics.

For Windows though check out Trillian, you can connect to anything using it. For Mac, I think most use Adium (I do!).

The IM i will be getting will only be used between 2 computers (mine and my boyfriends) will Trillian be suitable for this ?

i know i was surprised at that too


i'm an adium user too, and as you said most if not all of the clients put out by vendors are crap - anyways, who wants four apps open when talking to yahoo, msn and AIM contacts
