What are all the cool kids using as their messenger of choice? Not enough people are on gchat and that is really all I have on my phone/at work.

2/21/2011 9:03:27 AM

gchat/chatterbox

2/21/2011 9:04:00 AM

I think I still have aim set up to be sent to my phone, and randomly I'll have someone message me on there, but it's been a long time.

I use skype a lot, and facebook chat.

Mostly facebook chat though.

2/21/2011 9:05:46 AM

i have my gchat linked in with my AIM but hardly anyone hits me up through AIM anymore

2/21/2011 9:06:32 AM

irc dawg. And gchat.

2/21/2011 9:06:41 AM

i have one or two friends who I randomly talk to on AIM when I have my laptop out at home...which is rare these days. they are slowly moving to gchat, which is where I do most of my messaging these days. now I'll probably exclusively use gchat now that it links to my AIM account

2/21/2011 9:06:43 AM

only for work

for some reason

[Edited on February 21, 2011 at 9:07 AM. Reason : gchat]

2/21/2011 9:07:00 AM

I use AIM a lot still. My employer uses skype for intra-office communication so I have started using that a lot as well.

2/21/2011 9:07:52 AM

See, I think I know a lot of people who use it at work. I just created a new name on it just to filter out the filth I don't want to talk to anymore.

2/21/2011 9:09:15 AM

AIM at work is stupid

We just yell

2/21/2011 9:09:59 AM

nope. i don't even have it installed on my computer anymore. (it's on my old computer still.)

2/21/2011 9:12:20 AM

Nym, whats your aim name, lets chat

a/s/l

2/21/2011 9:12:54 AM

Only if it's video chat

yeah, did the same.

we can use lotus sametime but that sucks asssssssssssssssss.

2/21/2011 9:16:31 AM

haven't used aim in forever. logged in a couple months ago just to see if anyone still signed on. BioFreak70 was signed in, i lolled. I just use gchat or the random facebook chat now and then.

2/21/2011 9:23:08 AM

That's mostly why I use skype...for work

2/21/2011 9:23:58 AM

When I had to share a conference room as a makeshift office with two other guys, we used Google Talk to talk shit about one another

Like a bunch of damn women

2/21/2011 9:25:07 AM

i used to have aim linked to gchat, but by now most people i talk to are on gchat anyways, so i stopped signing in

2/21/2011 9:25:45 AM

ICQ

2/21/2011 9:27:38 AM

facebook chat via AIM, and a small and still dwindling number of people through AIM. I think only one of them is actually using an AIM client, the others are on iChat or Trillian - but still using the handle so it counts.

2/21/2011 9:28:16 AM

We just installed our own jabber server. Client is pidgin.

2/21/2011 9:29:36 AM

i run AIM, gchat, facebook chat, and maybe something else i can't remember through Adium...

that's also the reason it appears I'm ALWAYS on facebook even when i'm not

2/21/2011 9:31:03 AM

whats app, bbm, gchat, skype, yahoo messenger

2/21/2011 9:35:53 AM

i use aim & gchat through pidgin everyday. we talk in the office using aim more than out loud a lot of times lol.

i know the nc forest services uses aim to talk between district, regional, & central operations rooms.

2/21/2011 10:12:23 AM

i haven't used aim in about 6 or 7 years, but i logged in not that long ago just to take a peak.

i realized that i couldn't recall the real names of half the people on my buddy list, but the list also reminded me of people I had forgotten about.

2/21/2011 10:15:24 AM

I use aim- especially since it now syncs gchat and fbchat

2/21/2011 10:16:01 AM

1998 - 2003 was the golden era of AIM

I miss Away Messages

2/21/2011 10:26:01 AM

been using aim since ~1997 and have about 200 people i regularly talk to on there.

i have never used gtalk, wave was stupid, still use IRC for coding stuff

[Edited on February 21, 2011 at 10:33 AM. Reason : ^ facebook status updates are the new away messages, except people don't get away anymore]

2/21/2011 10:31:34 AM

Haven't signed on to AIM in yrs, did a couple months ago on my phone and my dad messaged me.

I use fb chat more than anything because sadly not enough people I know are aware of gchat.

2/21/2011 10:34:39 AM

i sometimes slip up an call facebook status updates "away messages"... i guess that's me showing my age.

2/21/2011 10:40:43 AM

lol, this thread inspired me to sign in to my AIM account. It's been a while

2/21/2011 10:43:41 AM

haven't signed into AIM in at least 4 or 5 years, not sure if I'd remember my password
I use gchat or facebook msgs, no one ever messages me on tdub anymore

2/21/2011 10:49:17 AM

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

2/21/2011 11:02:20 AM

yeah, away messages in AIM was the original status update to see who was doing what. Oh good ole days. I haven't logged in my AIM account in a year. Moved onto skype, but hardly use facebook for chat anymore since I got rid of it.

2/21/2011 2:00:52 PM

TWW only supports aim screen names

2/21/2011 4:25:11 PM

i haven't used IM in years. until I started working - office communicator... it's strange to me though... IMing coworkers and all... I still prefer e-mail

2/21/2011 4:29:28 PM

I just use a chat aggregator (in my case Adium, but Pidgin would be the same idea) and sign in to AIM, gchat, webexIM, facebook chat, and yahoo messenger.

If someone IMs me, I have no idea which service they're using to talk to me unless i feel like checking.

at work i use a device on my desk that allows you to speak to another person by connecting directly to a similar device on their desk. the only problem is you have to know a special code to their device, (much like a screen name, but with numbers assigned by the company instead). its fairly archaic, but gets the job done.

i can't remember the last time i logged into aim. i generally just use facebook now, but i'm sure its been a year or more since i facebook chatted. i set up video gchat a while back, but that works way to well for my likings. i need be able to at least pretend i'm busy sometimes.

2/21/2011 7:51:07 PM

tl;dr

2/21/2011 7:55:15 PM

i miss AIM profiles.

2/21/2011 9:01:51 PM

everyone I know stopped using AIM and switched to Yahoo about 12 years ago until I moved to NC... you people looooooved you some god damn AIM.

Still got a fair amount of people on Yahoo, maybe 2 on AIM, but most use FB chat now

2/21/2011 10:01:12 PM

not since high school
