omegatweeterOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

each one has its strengths, but i use AIM like 80% of the time.

rocksupastarFounder · Nov 6, 2003

DEAD AIM OWNS YOU!!! im using trillian at work cause it hides that im on, cause its not the cute little yellow man.

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003

Wait..people actually use things other then AIM?

And what is deadaim?

toxicgirlOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

I use deadaim, I call it stalker im. I can do all kinds of lovely things with it.

yodasuckaOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

yea.. hm.. what is deadaim? i c on peoples profiles "i am using deadaim" and i don't know what it is... inform me please...

toxicgirlOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

well...i can be on multiple screen names at once, it tells me when the other person is typing, it logs and saves every convo i have...

yodasuckaOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

hm.. now that sounds interesting...

iwz · Nov 6, 2003

the best part is that it puts all your IM windows into one single window with tabs

tinserOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003

it's not always a good thing to have your conversations changed though

magnumOG 2001 · Nov 7, 2003

the only reason u can see that the other person is typing because aol incorporated that, not them

tinserOG 2002 · Nov 9, 2003

and that they stole from msn

web-toedchloeOG 2001 · Nov 6, 2003

Wow, I didn't think anyone else used ICQ still. I think the premise of why they created it is funny: As a singles-meeting-type-thingy. Get it? ICQ - "I seek you". lol.

yodasuckaOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

haha I GET IT!!!

esprit15dOG 2003 · Nov 6, 2003

Anybody who thinks anything is better than Yahoo clearly has never used Yahoo. I have AIM, MSN, ICQ and have used MECA, and Yahoo leaves the others in the dust. There's isn't even competition. The others don't have invironments (tho MSN is trying to get on the bandwagon), you can play games, search and other things with the person you're messaging with over the messenger. Its clearer, easier to format the text, I could go on. The combo programs are convenient, but so stripped down. The only thing I would say is that Yahoo's conferencing is a litte tedious and not attractive. That's the only thing MSN messenger beats them. But Yahoo's webcam is so smooth and brainless and attractive. If you're just trying to get words to another person instantly, any of them will do fine. But when it comes to the best one? C'mon...

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003

webcam..what do you use that for?

tinserOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003

like a video camera....to see the other person

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 7, 2003

I know..I was just wondering why you would want to see the person you're talking to. I did watch this enlightening video in Anthro last year about why some men in offices like to have webcams.

esprit15dOG 2003 · Nov 7, 2003

oh, i don't use it in my office. i don't really use it, but my cousin uses it so I can see his baby daughter.

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 7, 2003

aww babies are so cute!!!! I love babies.

fivezeroOG 2003 · Nov 7, 2003

i bet you weren't thinking of babies when you asked "what for" originally, lol

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 8, 2003

Sure I was, it's you who has the dirty mind.

thefunkyfreshFounder · Nov 7, 2003

care to elaborate??

thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Nov 8, 2003

I do not think it's appropriate to say. It involves money and naked women.

fivezeroOG 2003 · Nov 8, 2003

SEE! i did't have a dirty mind...i, uh, just knew what you meant...

iwz · Nov 6, 2003

i like AIM the best simply because i have 200 buddies that also use it.

tinserOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003

i have 198...bummer....but that does mean i can make 2 new friends

rocksupastarFounder · Nov 7, 2003

i dont think you can... like really.

tinserOG 2002 · Nov 9, 2003

man, that was supposed to say "doesn't"...and yeah, i guess you're right

thefunkyfreshFounder · Nov 7, 2003

i have 192... but some of them i know people dont use anymore and some are my old screen names, so i probably really only have like 4 true buddies.

skaorsk8OG 2002 · Nov 7, 2003

i think you might have less than 4

rocksupastarFounder · Nov 7, 2003

i think its 3 of his othen screen names and then is mom

thefunkyfreshFounder · Nov 7, 2003

its actually 2 of my other screennames, my mom, and YOU! dorkface.

toxicgirlOG 2003 · Nov 9, 2003

I hate it when ppl don't put up away messages on IM of any kind. It can be quite the letdown.

fivezeroOG 2003 · Nov 9, 2003

aye sowwy

toxicgirlOG 2003 · Nov 9, 2003

And with that comment you just made it an endearing aspect of your character. Ooooh I hate when you do that! Haha.

fivezeroOG 2003 · Nov 9, 2003
