I use Pidgin in ubuntu and as a backup messenger in windows (when yahoo or Live or...  doesn't work or when I want come with more than one ID)
I like it, especially Plug-in features :)

None, I don't use Instant Messaging, so that doesn't even fall into the Other category ;D

-= I use Yahoo!.. Maybe because I have no choice 'cause all my other classmates & relatives are using it.. Yahoo! is the most used IM client in the Philippines but I guess its not in the other countries..

But the free version of Trillian won't do Google Talk. :'(

I guess Google users are more willing to part with their money. ;D ::) :P

I also do not use any of those IM things.

But, I did a long time ago until I learned better. It's been at least 8 years since I used an IM program.

I only use Windows Live Messenger (MSN) because that's all I need.

I wish I could figure out how to not get it to start with the new Hotmail though.

I see we just switched to EDT so the weekend is 1 hour shorter and sunset is later but the dawn comes an hour sooner but this does not confuse the Rooster.

I was the only fool to get up according to the new DST this morning.

You need to get a Rooster to wake the cat.

I voted "other" because there was no "none" option.
If someone needs to get in touch with me that quickly, they can use the phone.

It's also an easy way to transfer files.  :)

Hi YoKenny and thanks! Windows Live Messenger (Windows Live Essential at all) is my main messenger too :)

I voted "other" because there was no "none" option.

"None" is added now :)
Some times I prefer messenger, for example for video-chat or send/receive files or talking silent and night or when I've no money to pay for phone and International Calls ;D

It's also an easy way to transfer files.  :)
Thanks! ;)
