    Recently I started using Skype, very good messenger I must say. I've not got any problems using webcam with it neither. The only thing I don't like is when people call u even before chatting a bit with u before..
    How many of u are using Skype and how u find it compared to other messengers?
    I am also using MSN, YM & ICQ, I really like Skype but my favourite is YM :) I really like the yahoo avatars, they are nice

    I searched "messenger" on google MSN is first in the list, Skype is not even on the first page :eek: I thought it was quite popular!

    I use mainly Yahoo. I subscribe to the build-in Launchcast player and most of my friends are on Yahoo, too.

    I use Skype for making international long distance phone calls to other Skype users. We only use the chat function when we cannot contact one another by voice. Otherwise, I do not use any chat programs.

    The new video capability of Skype is interesting, but I do not have a camera attached to my computer.

    I use Trillian. Since there is no "standard" these days, I am forced to have almost every single messenger known to man. And since I don't like having that many applications up and running at once, I just use Trillain. It is resource intensive but nowhere near how much all those applications would add up to. I use it to chat and file transfers, I don't need none of those "kids features" and the latest and greatest. As long as it can chat and have smilies, I'm sold! What we do for clients, huh? :)

    Now that there is GTalk in Gmail, I hardly use any others. Except Yahoo! which comes on automatically whenever I sign in ...
    Added: Google Talk is not an option in your poll LOL
