AIM because that's where all my friends are at, like it or not. - Rodfather

Prefer Gtalk, but I use AIM and Skype more, because that's what we use at work. I actually really like Skype and would use it more (even just as a chat client) if more people I knew used it. As it is, everyone I know outside of work is on Gmail, so Gtalk is super easy to use. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I use adium or pidign as a client, have accounts everywhere and stay entirely IM service agnostic - Bastard Operator From FF

GTalk please - Mitch

Gtalk - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
