i've them all. skype, yahoo, aol, everything! the only thing better is ichat, which unfortunately is not compatible with windows.
so remember: GMAIL is the way to go!! lol

I agree! Especially for those who cannot use Skype due to governmental restrictions. |

I didn't like the web browser feature of Adium and my brother (using Live Messenger) had troubling connecting and video conferencing with me.
So....I believe the next one to try out is Gmail
