looking to get back into having this form of communication at my disposal. Question is, what does everyone use?
Last time i bothered with this i used trillian to talk on AIM/ICQ/whatever.

Gorillaz tend to only have one good song per album.
I still use trillian and talk to several people on every protocol. AIM and MSN tend to be the most popular.

IRL = in real life ?
I don't really like chat/im programs but I'm kinda of forced to use MSN because so many people I know use it.

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

i use trillian with all services.
google chat has great voice, msn messenger has the best webcam function (it's like a freaking vtc), and aim lets me transfer unlimited file sizes at full bandwidth.
it's a comprimise

msn messenger, with all the bloat taken out using mess.be patches.
i don't use any other protocol, apart from irc now and then.

I still use trillian, and it's awesome because finally there's a proper RSS plugin which accepts 2.0 feeds as well.

people take 35 minutes and risk carpal tunnel to have a conversation that would normally take 3 minutes using mouth and ears.
WHY?
With lab overcoat and chalkboard on, let's do some motherfucking math.
Well, first we need to solve for the hideously ugly unknown "
X " (which is a known as well as an unknown--think about it, the best concepts are the most subtle, yet startlingly obvious) and then factor in the ability to shove half a bag of cupcake minis in the face while "chatting" without the risk of aspirating said chunks of the chocolately sex-substitute and I had my logical explanation very neatly explained using linear algebra and biostats.

5 years everyone was using ICQ, nowadays everyone seems to be on MSN. I use trillian, so that I can keep both my old ICQ-friends and my new MSN friends in the same app.
