I like Google Talk but since a lot of friends use Messenger (which everyone annoyingly refers to as MSN still, no idea why M$ hasn't dropped that failed brand altogether by now) I use Pidgin, which handily compressed contacts on multiple networks into one and easily connects to both services. I just find it a shame that things like group chat, voice conversations and file transfer don't work through it. If Google released a transport for Messenger the same as they have done with AIM I'd be very happy. tdinc wrote:

I expected most people to be sticking with the standalone clients, but that's not the case at all. What's even more surprising is that the largest share of the votes right now is given to Skype, which I knew people used but I didn't think the largest portion of our audience would be using that.
