    Default messenger?

    MSN, AIM, Google talk, IRC and now Yahoo? Seriously, do we really need all these god damn messenger clients. I have been using MSN since that is what everyone in Canada uses. I got on AIM because of half the guys I know in poker are American and still follow the AOL's AIM client. I then discovered Trillian that does both and it has been great.

    Now I have a Blackberry and RIM (blackberry) has it's own messenger for BB to BB conversation. Well now I have the MSN, Google talk and Yahoo clients on my BB as of this week but no AIM. So what's the story on this, should I wait for AIM? Is it dead? Should I get a Yahoo account now? I will be working a ton more so keeping in touch will be tougher. Does anyone use Yahoo Messenger?

    Yea, I actually have it and never used it yet. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. Why is blackberry getting yahoo and not AIM? Does everyone still use AIM or are more people using yahoo now? FWIW, Trillian has Yahoo now too. I jsut want to have my BB available all day since I don't have computer access, but tons of time.

    yahoo has been around for ever (not referencing mobile platforms).

    I only have one contact on yahoo and he's a huge life fish. So, cum grano salis.

    In my brief experience with Yahoo IM, only cam girls and porn spammers use it... I personally don't know anyone using it.

    Haven't seen that one.

    There are a couple of clients that support multiple protocols. - including IRC.
    http://www.pidgin.im/
    http://www.trillian-messenger.net/ (just added for completeness. I would recommend pigdin)
