New poll overdue ... ;)


I missed a few "not-so-well-known" so if I ain't listed it, what was it & why did you bother? :D

You have multi-choice

give me a chance to post the bloody thing.

;)
 
I've voted for none as I don't really use any IM apps. I do have MSN installed but I use it once in a blue moon (once this year I think), as I find I'd spend too much time talking and not enough time working :lol:

About 10 years ago I used to use ICQ and that was fun!
 
Xfire and IRC for me. :)
 
Windows Live Messenger is not just good for IMs but also for easy and fast file transfer as we can just drag and drop :).

And pretty much the reason I use it...
 
None anymore, the novelty wore off for me.

I'd rather meet or phone people tbh.

Facebook is almost the same but it's kinda mild and friendly so I use it.

If anybody really wanted to speak to me I have a phone number, and an ability to use PM's but it had better be a good reason, lol ;)

Same here. Used to use MSN, but people changed their emails too much, so I now have about 200 contacts with only a handful of useable contacts.

I use facebook as everyone has it. Prefer to text.
 
Only Skype but once in a blue moon, come to think of it I don't use that anymore as I don't have it installed on my new Laptop or my main PC..

So pretty much none really, prefer to speak face to face..or Mobile Bone..:nod:
 
I say I use Trillion and W Live but tbh.... it's normally closed or with me showing off-line. I ain't having my brothers young friends contact me. When I was younger I had the police at me door because a girl missed the school bus, I took her there (it was omw to work) but her friend started making stuff up about a relationship etc. After this my opinion on talking to / helping younger people totally changed and I find it's better to avoid them.

(Luckily the officer knew it was cr4p but had to follow it up as a matter of proceedure. It wasn't pleasant.)

Been in a similar position myself. One of me daughters friends added me on WLM and before you know it, police had me down the station..She also made up a story of a relationship. Thank god she were known to them, and known as a compulsive liar. She were also one of the first people I knew of that had 'puter removed and band from using internet etc for a good few years...Scared the sh*t out of me..
 
I voted pidgin for the only reason that it is installed on my laptop otherwise never used it :p

I rather use the phone for all local calls (within the US) and for overseas the good ole' email works fine. In 1997 I used the ICQ and sure it was fun and something interesting, made a friend back in September 1998 through ICQ and we are still good friends and communicate regularly over phone.
 
I've used them all but WLM seems to be mainstream...
I still keep in regular contact with 2 friends I made via ICQ 11 years ago! :)
