Your favorite chat software?

[Joecoolyo]

Most of my chat goes through Steam, and on rare occasions, Facebook.

I mainly use Windows Live, but i hate how it uses your name and not a screen name like before, so I had to change it to my screen name, Before you could have your real name and then have a screen name on top of that.

Oh, and the OP is a blatant spambot.

MS started bundling MSN Messenger with Windows XP.

This never happened.

Windows Messenger, whatever, same thing.

 

[Smellincoffee]

Not quite...I remember downloading MSN proper because I found Windows Messenger inferior in one regard or another.

I also used to use Chatzilla during my Firefox days. Chrome doesn't have any IRC extensions, though -- none that I'm aware of.

It was the same chat protocol, just a slightly dumber client, and in any case it doesn't make one bit of difference to what I was saying so I don't see why there are now 4 separate posts about it

MSN or Steam for text-based chatting, Skype for speaking-based chatting.

So does it matter if people like posting abot chat software

 

[Murky]

I don't do a lot of it these days. I limit most of my discussions to message boards and facebook. I do lurk on reddit and hacker news though. I used to do some IRC and IM, but not so much now.

 

[Quintillus]

Primarily GChat for regular text-based chatting, since I'm going to read my e-mail anyway and a lot of friends also use it. AIM Lite comes in second, but lower than it used to since fewer and fewer people sign on to AIM these days. I use Skype for video calls and audio calls but am not logged on to it all that often. Often it's a case of I'm already talking to someone on GChat and we decide to Skype, or I'm talking on the phone and we decide to Skype since it's cheaper. I also use GChat occasionally to make phone calls since it's free to call to regular phones in the U.S. and Canada from anywhere in the universe.

Am I the only one finding this thread suspicious?

Again, I think Skype does well enough on its own...

Since when has success stopped spambots?

 

[LucyDuke]

Since when has success stopped spambots?

Since when is success compatible with spambotting?


I use mIRC. It's clunky for IRC noobs but I it.

Also Skype if I ever remember to install it.

I used AIM for about a decade. Yeah I'm old whatever.

At least a half dozen people think the OP is a bot, and yet nobody of these people reported it. Thanks for caring about this forum ^^.


I have ICQ and Trillian here, and i hate the interface of both. Haven't changed yet because i'm too lazy to create new accounts.
Sky is okay in these regards.

 

[Narz]

I don't chat much online. Occasionally someone'll start chatting me up on FB. On gmail I'm in invisible but will occasionally come off to chat (usually with the GF). I like Skype for webcam chat but don't use it all that much. I generally prefer e-mail to chat.

 

[ZeletDude]

FB chat, AIM, Skype, MSN messanger.

 

[Skwink]

Oh, and the OP is a blatant spambot.

Let this go down in history as one of the few times a spambot started a real discussion.

Facebook and Steam are all I use.
