I didn't include web based messengers since they don't require a client but feel free to mention which if that's what you're using.

If I've missed a client that you're using please post, along with a link if possible.

Thanks to Rob A See Profile for last years poll.

Nice job on the poll fourboxers See Profile.

No instant messaging for me.
If you're friend or family, you know my phone number, nothing else is so important I can't wait for an email.

Skype could be the exception for me if I had situation where it would save me money on a phone call but that's about it.

I use Skype for text, voice, and webcam. It is reliable. Disable add on manager and the cpu usage is almost nil.

Nice poll, fourboxers!

I said None, even though I very occasionally use Google - just 'cuz it's there.

Thanks for the poll fourboxers See Profile.

For me, I have been using Trillian for years, and I haven't looked back. Anxiously awaiting the new version to try out.
