SenutyEnool Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 G'day JMac, as for Instant Messengers I tend to steer away from MSN and all corporate type programs. My main choice for an IM program is Trillian Pro. The reason I chose Trillian is because it lets me use my AIM, Yahoo and ICQ profiles from the one program without having to launch each individual one. The other nice thing with Trillian is that I can 'group' other people's profiles, by that I mean, if one of your friends has an AIM and ICQ profile you can group these two profiles together without needing to launch each program to try and contact them. Also with grouping, it will show, what profile/s your friends are currently logged in with, thereby also shortening your time trying to see where they currently are. Hope this is of some help. Cheers :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted March 29, 2006 Administrator Share Posted March 29, 2006 I mainly use AIM 5.5 and WLM (Msn8). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I personally use GAIM, which basically does everything Trillian does. Only I like it better, which obviously makes it the best.

lokoike Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The only IM I use is Google Talk. I like it because it is small and simple. It takes half a second to load, doesn't eat up resources, and is sleek and clean looking. Now if only people actually used it... sigh...

Jago Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 MirandaIM - low memory usage, doesn't take a lot of space, and can look completely dull if I so desire to make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
