And interesting conundrum you created for yourself. AIM is AOL!

In any case, I mostly use MSNMessenger and AIM, but I have YIM for those lucky enough to have found it (staffers mainly). I don't know if I'd use this "Trillian", but I've heard it's good...

BTW: Is it a legal program? Seems odd that three companies in competition would allow one program to combine each of them into "one", so to speak...

Trillian PRO (i paid for it) it pwns all... $20 for every messenger handler in 1.... omfg

 

[Neptunez]

$0 for regular trillian; every message handler in 1... omfg

 

[Sicloan]

yeah.. but pro kicks the regulars version's A$$... its alot better quality

 

[x42bn6]

I used Trillian until it started screwing up my Norton.....

MSN. I'm thinking of getting AIM 'cos half of you use it. But I'm too lazy to download it.

 

[Jaden]

[IDefy]

AIM...

What is trilian and what does it do? I'm to lazy to go look it up.

 

[Sakuhta]

I use AIM and MSN...though Trillian sounds so good, I hate it.

Even if you only had, for example, AIM and MSN running, the Yahoo part of Trillian still takes bandwidth. It's an uber-Bandwidth hogger. Just like AOL. :-/

I use Yahoo, MSN and AIM

-Yahoo has the best features, but doenst have a "catchy look" to it's instant messaging program
-MSN Messanger is a catch to the eye, but they still need to work out features and do less "brower-based" ideas
-AIM has good features, but not as powerful as Yahoo, and it has good looks also but still doesnt give an eyes glance like MSN does. A good charactoristic for AIM is it's alert features, and its "buddy list" options (e.g. "warning people" and being able to talk to people NOT on your buddy list).

I mainly use MSN because everyone else has/uses MSN also, I think less-advances people use it because it is so easy to install and mess around with, otherwise if not that I would go with Yahoo! Messanger and then AIM

My ranks of use would be...
1) MSN
2) Yahoo!
3) AIM

As far as features...
1) Yahoo!
2) AIM
3) MSN

Styles..
1) MSN
2) AIM
3) Yahoo!


Overall I would give MSN the best rating because they are slightly improving over time and might eventually catch up to the features all the others have. One thing that sucks about MSN is that you can only have up to 150, I think they should up it to 1000, or go by your computers specifications (e.g. if your computer is old/slow it would standardly put 150 for max, or if you have a fast computer 1000 would be max because you would be able to handle X amount of people all signing on at the same/or around the same time). Or they could just have there be no limit...
