What instant messaging services do you use?

There are various instant messaging services available at the moment, but which ones do you use?

I use MSN, Google talk and Skype at the moment. My instant messenger application, Adium, does MSN and Google talk, and skype does skype.

You can use Adium to talk to xFire users if you get an xFire account.

Sadly for some reason in PhpBB3 it removes all votes when you add an option to the poll.

Only MSN and Skype, Skype only being for when I need to use it for talking though since MSN is horrible for that.

Same, but I've got Live Messenger for MSN...Messenger is much better through its own client. Plus there's better emotes

I've also got Skype.

I use quite a few actually...

Yahoo Messenger for Taiwanese friends (people in Taiwan do use this...).
MSN for RSBANDB people.
Google Talk for family (easy for family members to sign on and just talk).
AIM for school friends (everyone in U.S. uses this :roll:

).
and Skype for clients.

Never really planned that out but it's the way it turns out.

MSN and Skype, just like everyone else. I actually started out using AOL, but stopped.

I have AIM, MSN, Skype, Google Talk, Xfire, and Teamspeak on my computer. I use MSN/Skype/Xfire mostly though; AIM is just for talking to school friends who haven't heard of any other instant messengers, Google Talk I got when I got Gmail and haven't used it since, and Teamspeak is for live R!Updates XD
