Does anyone know the difference in the services (online messaging) that we are offered here in the states verses what's available in Canada???

I'm nixing one service but I need to replace it. Just trying to find out why we have like AIM and although it is "America" Online, isn't it pretty open like anyone can just visit the site and get it? You can even use AIM Express where you don't even need the software because it just runs through java in the browser. Canada confuses me lol! HELP

The deal I'm hearing is that some people can only get MSN (up there) but, I totally know Canadians that have AIM. I'm so confused. What does it all mean?!?!?

Well, I can confirm to you that AIM is available to anyone, anywhere in the World, yes. But, from my experience... Canadians seem to prefer ICQ. The Canadians are huge on ICQ like Americans are with AIM. And, Yahoo Messenger and MSN are probably runners up for Canadians. But, yeh, ICQ. Kind of a hassle.
