This one is a simple questions and a polling panel to check which is the most famous chat program now. There are many chat sites that you may be using. my usage depends on the use. If it is official I prefer pidgin and when to chat with friends I prefer Gtalk. Now please tell me which one is your favorite? So which Chat service are you use more often ?
Yahoo -- Yahoo Messenger
Google -- Gtalk
MSN -- Hot mail
Advance thanks for any replies.
MSN definitely, everyone uses it!
I use MSN and they really have some cool features.
I am using MSN and QQ. Do you know QQ ? An powerful real time chat program, you can search for more information about from Internet!
I use Windows Live Messenger version 2009. I like the feature where you can play simple online games with your friends.
Miranda, because it's the closest I could get to something that even remotely sounds like a girl.
Mac OS X: Adium, by far the best, and a pitty not being it available for Windows / Linux.
Windows: Digsby, it's less buggy than Pidgin (which crashes a lot in my machine, yes I used stable releases).
On chatting services I prefer Google Talk but everyone uses MSN Live or whatever :'( so I have an account on that one too.
Bitlbee, of course!
MSN and Skype on windows.
Adium on my mac
i wish Adium could have atleast audio chat support with conference calls like skype!
//edit
Skype 2.8 gold edition coming up for mac.
I am not using Windows anymore, but on Windows I was using Miranda IM with Jabber, ICQ and MSN.
Now I am using Adium X on Mac OS X with Jabber, 2x ICQ, 2x MSN, MySpace IM and Twitter.
I also use Digsby, ever since Matonga mentioned it and I have yet to be disappointed.
IRC 
I love Digsby for managing multiple IM's.
I wish there was easy way to do a conference like chat room using IM.
So life hacker had the poll for the best IM clients.. and here are the results:
At home I use Yahoo messenger because here in Romania everybody use this, and I can chat with MSN people too from this, But at work I use Digsby, because I don't want to install a lot of chatting programs when I have to chat with people internationally, since everyone is using a different program, and Skype for calling PC and phone.
But Yahoo messenger is my favorite.
What about AIM?
What about AIM?
If it didn't ridiculously inject itself into my startup every boot no matter how many times i remove it then it lacks all the features digsby has.
I use MSN and AIM. I have Skype as well - never seen the amount of people using Skype to go below 10,000,000.... wonder how many MSN has on normally?
AIM starts at bootup for me as well, but I have no problem with that. Just wondering, is Digsby worth using? If it starts up quickly, and allows me into all my IM clients at once, it must be pretty awesome.
Trillian Astra. No competition.
Hi,
As per my experience Yahoo is the best chat programme because it provides video and audio sharing options and it is used by everyone. Sometimes I also use Google-G talk.
Thank you.
Pidgin ftw!
I just switched from ICQ, because it kept devouring messages and so on.
I compared Pidgin with Miranda and Trilian and it clearly won that competition!
I am using MSN and QQ. Do you know QQ ? An powerful real time chat program, you can search for more information about from Internet!
It depends on who I'm chatting with. Apparently, international users like to use Yahoo Messenger so I have that. US users like to use MSN so I have that too. Some buyers use Skype so I installed that in my computer. The one I use to chat with friends and family is Google Talk.
I'm using Trillian. The features are awesome. What i liked with it is the twitter add on. You're like having twitter in YM . And the cool thing with it is you don't have to buy it's free unless you want premium features that it can offer.
For me, it is defiantly AIM or MSN.
