I use Both :)
I'm guessing Yahoo Messenger and ICQ don't exist as Asians don't seem to exist either (from your previous ethnicity poll). XD Sorry I'm making fun of your polls, but it's just funny. ^_^;;

Anyways, I prefer AIM. But I use all of them.

80% AIM
10% MSN
5% ICQ

I'm usually on AIM most of the time, though I also go on YIM a lot. I used to go on MSN, but now so many people have added me to their list on there that I can't go on without getting attacked with messages, lol. O_O (A nice advantage of having YIM... Invisible mode... and you can still talk to whoever you want when you're on it! Plus you can recieve offline messages. So nice.) The only problem is that not many people use it, so I normally only talk to my friend in England when I'm on. As for AIM, there are only a few people that I actually enjoy talking to on there. I still get bothered with dumb messages sometimes, though. (Like, ''do u wanna pair up wit me??11ONE!!1'', etc.)

And by the way, I edited the poll to include more options!

I have an AIM account, but I never use it. I'm mainly always on MSN, so.. that's where you'll find me. I tried to sign up for Yahoo, but the computer kept crashing whilst installing, so I figured that was a bad sign. as for ICQ... I really haven't bothered with it. I'm perfectly happy with my MSN account. ^_^

I have both but AIM is better for sending files because if it quits for some reason AIM resumes where it was, MSN starts all over again. ><

I use MSN and AIM. :) I much prefer using MSN to AIM (the user interface is much more clean and friendly in my opinion). However, I have different people on each list, so I like to use AIM to talk to the others! ^_^

Depends on where they're from...

WtW -> 95% AIM, 5% MSN
PC -> 95% MSN, 5% AIM
RMC -> 50/50

I do most of my chatting in IRC actually...


And I like AIM better...

I just got AIM yesterday. (although I had one a long time ago that I forgot my username and password. XD)
I'm now comparing both of them and both of them and I like MSN better because I have no idea how to handle AIM (can ya change yar online status in AIM?) and most people of are offline in my AIM list.

I use Both :)
Both? You do know you put mroe than two options in that poll, right?

Anyway...I use MSN. When I got my computer it came with Windows Messenger, then I switched up to MSN messenger. Now I've downloaded lots of things for it (Messenger Plus!, lots of Messenger Plus! Plugins, Custom Games Patch, Extra Tabs, Handwriting...which would be good if I had a tablet, my mousemenship is horrible, and more.), and I have no reason to use anything else. It's even tabbed for me now. All my friends use MSN so I have no reason to use the other Messengers.

MSN is kinda better than the others. I tried AIM one time, but it was really stupid, so I quit XD
In MSN ya can change yar Screen Name, easily Status Change and so many features...
Shouldnt this be in the Computers forum?
Also I have as many people in MSN as I have in AIM but hardly anyone's active on AIM. And I have no idea how to change my status in AIM....if you can. XD

I have YIM, which i constantly use. It's pretty easy to use and now that the added "avatar" function is there, i'm happy. ^^ Like Kay mentioned, "Invisible Mode" is great to have too...especially when i don't want certain people to know i'm online..o.o;
The only downsides i can see to it are that you can't archive offline messages on YIM, like in the past and not a great majority of PC members use it. MSN seems to be more preferred. :\

If I ever knew it was possible to wake up one morning and find the sweetest, most beautiful woman...I would've wanted to wake up a lot sooner.... Smart, sensible, pretty, funny, kind...are words that aren't close enough to describing just how perfect she truly is. Her cute smile, her warm auburn hair and her pale ice blue eyes, add to the beauty of her terrific personality.But most of all, she cares for me too; thats why I wear my best smile every day..."
