I was curious as to which (if any) instant messaging program you folks us. Also, feel free to post your nickname.

On MSN Messenger, I am this_is_nascar.
On Yahoo Instant Messenger, I am this_is_nascar.

I don't use any of the IM products or any of the Chat products, except for the CPF chat area that Saaby runs.
And on that product, I go by "tOLiEt" or "uRiNe pOtAtO" so I think everybody knows who it is. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I use ICQ... I have YM and MSN somewhere but I don't like them so I never turn them on. To give you an idea how long I've been on ICQ, I still have my original account and it's only a 6 digit number... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's all about Trillian, people. You can use AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo....all at the same time. Plus, you can have multiple user names for each chat! Check it out! (And no, I don't work for them. hehe)

Ray... ICQ.

Pet peeves about instant messaging... anyone have any? I don't like it when the other person doesn't wait for me to answer and just keeps sending more messages.

My REI coop number is only a 6 digit number...does that count? I get frustrated with folk's inability to type as fast as we talk (I type about 75wpm and of course we speak much faster than that, eh?)...so I avoid IMs.

I think my biggest pet peeve is the fact that ICQ and AIM are both owned by AOL, but they can't talk to each other directly. I also hate it when people leave their ICQ or AIM on, but then go off somewhere for hours! I can't tell if they're ignoring me or just gone! Most likely they're ignoring me...haha... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon6.gif

Wow! Imagine that. One person per ICQ number in the US... It's like Social Security... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

The newer ICQ can do emoticons, but when people do ;;;OO or (-) (-) or ) . (

You know it's time to get up and drink a cup of milk... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
