I use Skype all the time. Even at work. It's awesome

I wasn't really expecting such a response

I use Windows Live Messenger, as it has full screen video and I want everyone to see my beautiful fisog!

Doesn't Skype have full screen option with a camera? I use x64 (no camera drivers for my cheap and old webcam) so I can't check right now. I'll borrow a webcam from work and check it out. I'll post my findings here

I use Trillian to manage my MSN, Y!, ICQ and AIM accounts, but these days its mostly Skype. I think even people who are terrified of PC's are willing to use Skype for the free phonecall option, and that in turn is leading them to try other functions, such as the chat. Also, the conferencing option on Skype is excellent; we used it extensively in my last workplace and found it to be very useful.

What were you expecting?

I think I would have expected plenty of msn and skype users.

I use IM+ from SHAPE Services - Software for PDA and mobiles: MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, ICQ, Jabber, LCS, Sametime through my Blackberry 8700g phone. I then have simultaneous access to Yahoo, msn, icq, google, aol and jabber. Hopefully skype support will follow.

[pshirley]

i use Windows Live (MSN) mainly. Faster response then skype and more features.

[peepsbates]

Google talk, used to use aim, theres no option for gtlk in the poll though

Yep, their latest one does - so long as you have credits you can send SMS. Don't know what the cost of each SMS is though - never bothered bying Skype credit.

i use MSN/Yahoo for those without Skype, and I use Miranda IM to manage my accounts (it does all the others as well).

As for calls/SMS i use skype, its great, for calls i have bought a Voskey Call Center which allows me to connect my normal phone to the PC. it allows me to make/receive standard and skype calls, and since the phone is cordless, i can make a skype call in the garden.

Since starting using GoogleTalk I have have been able to have IM converstations as well. Or perhaps its a feature associated with my gmail account. Is this an option on the poll?
