Well i live on the beach and my cell phone sucks shit out here. So anything that allows people to get a hold of me is a good thing.

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.

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.

I use Trill, and Trill 4 is in development right now it should be really nice when it launches.

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.
