Just curious if most TRF members use an instant messaging program and which one? AIM? MSN? Yahoo?

Thanks

I am on a Mac so I use Adium. It allows me to have my Gmail Talk, AIM, Skype, Facebook, and other chat programs all in one application.

The bird while in traffic. Very efficient in getting the message across.

None. I hate IM. I don't want to be IM'ed and feel I have to instantly respond to the sender.

And if someone call you on the phone? This is almost the same

That's why I have caller-ID. I don't anwer "Unknown Caller" calls; and I don't answer "800" calls. If you want me to pick up the phone, I better know who you are. And even then, if I know who you are, I may not want to talk to you.

Skype is fantastic in many ways. Easily accessable, large user base and good quality of the sound. But more important; it's free of charge.

Noonan · 21 July 2009, 04:10 AM

Only use GTalk. Works anywhere I can access my emal and there's an app for it on my blackberry.

allanofcalifornia · 21 July 2009, 04:10 AM

SKYPE?? I am confused! I thought skype was a way of making cheap phone calls by using the internet (i.e. voice over IP)?

Not cheap, Allan.............try FREE!!

It's a great (and free) way of communicating with friends all over the world. All you need is a headset with an attached mike and you're in business.

Misunderstanding. Skype provides text-based chat as well as voice to voice communication. Their voice to voice includes computer to computer (Free), computer to phone (not free) and phone to computer (not free).

I would love to chat at some time JJ. Although I have to admit, it'll be a few weeks before I'll be settled back in. I defend my dissertation tomorrow, am going to a wedding from Thursday through Sunday and move to Chattanooga on Monday!

I think AIM still leads, but more and more people are using multiple programs (MSN, Skype, GTalk, etc.).

Goodwatch · 21 July 2009, 04:13 AM

Privately: none. I dislike it. At work I occasionally use the messenger that come with Lotus Notes.
