Question What's your Instant Messenging application ?

So iChat will use the AIM network…

Is that because AIM is the biggest IM network around ? Here in France, MSN is far ahead, most people don't know anything about AIM !

Moreover, when I have to compare MSN and AIM, just looking at the applications and at what they allow to do, MSN is really better !

And besides those there are more networks. Though I never talked to anyone using Yahoo! IM. Or maybe I have…

So this is to know.

PS: I use Proteus, thanx fryke !

In OS X, I always use Proteus 2.0fc1. But it has some bugs in OS X 10.2 so I use iChat/ICQ/MSN separately.

I use Proteus 2.0 cause it's super neat...but I still have MSN, YIM and ICQ on my system just in case something goes wrong with Proteus...

I hope whatever bugs there are with Proteus and 10.2 are figured out before my copy of Jag gets here....Oh wait, I haven't even ordered it yet!

I use Adium, but the AIM network, so I checked AIM.

wow, more people use MSN than I would have expected. I only have 2 friends that use it while everyone else I know uses AIM.

indeed, agree with that. here in holland (near to france ) everyone uses msn, and they think "AIM" is a desice or something.
iChat is cool to go to the Britney "can she cook" Spears restaurant, but useless for us europeans...
(i checked msn btw )

Well the reason AIM is so popular here in the states is because most people started their internet 'careers' using AOL. So many people know how to use the instant messenger and stick with it. ICQ is more for geeks (you know what I mean) and Yahoo just isn't very popular.
