Hello,

Which chat software / instant messenger(s) do you use?

Trillian, ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, IRC (ok, not really IM...) ???

I use multiple only because it seems like every client of mine uses a different one. I am really bad about moving the settings though on them like "available" "Gone" etc. and then people get annoyed that I'm not online when it says I am. Friends though I typically only use AOL

That's why I use Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc/).

I can chat with ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc people all from one chat client on my end! :D

Oops, I guess I should've checked more than just Trillian, since Trillian covers the other ones, too. I'm bad about turning on Skype. Nobody I know uses it.

I'm a Yahoo man. MSN blows, AIM is practically mal-ware, even if you set AIM not to run at start up and kill the processes via task manager it still starts itself back up.

With Pidgin (http://www.pidgin.im) (FOSS Trillian) I use them all though, normally to support my customers.. I talk to friends/family on Yahoo or MySpace IM.
