AIM and MSN

[Chilling__Echo]

i've noticed alot of people on here don't use AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) but use MSN.

do people in the UK mainly use MSN while in the states it's AIM?

i rarely come across anyone in the states that uses MSN...

Yea...Americans are strange ones =p

Most people in Oz use MSN as well.

 

[lucidity]

yeah, i've noticed the lack of smileys. ive heard of some program that will combine all the programs together so you can talk to all your friends on both. but i forgot the name. i'm gonna have to ask that person again

you have more customization in aim.. aol just has different versions of the same smiley

You can use Gaim to talk to people on AIM, MSN, Google Talk and others.

It is what I use and I highly recommend it. It is free and there are no ads or anything like what AIM has. It is also known as 'open source software' which means in a lot of cases they are not trying to make money off of it but trying to give people an alternative to the monopolies.

Try Trillian

Trillian combines aol, msn, icq, yahoo all into one. Works great for all of them and then you more or less can communicate through any of the chat programs. More info is at:
