What's your Instant Messenging application ?

Proteus 1.x sucked imho.

The new proteus betas [2.x] you can find on versiontracker and actually have a nicer interface than fire.

I switched to proteus 2 "final candidate 1" after fire started quitting app for no good reason.

I'm using Fire at the moment but only because I hated AIM so much and needed to talk to someone on that network.

I have to say though, I downloaded Proteus first and hated the usability of it. Fire seems pretty decent.

At the moment i just use MSN but i do have accounts on Y! and AIM but i tried protus and it sucked it kept quitting and slowed me down. Fire i havent used becuse the review on CNET was rubbish, and plus im waitng for the 3-party MSN Client!

I use Adium (which I really love) and MSN.

[BlingBling 3k12]

AIM (soon by way of iChat) because everyone I know has an AIM name, no matter what ISP they use...

[adambyte]

Another AIM user over here, simply because I don't know other people on those other networks.... and I use the official AIM client because it's got lots of features... File Transfer, Buddy Icons, etc.... AOL has kept those features of their protocol proprietary. GRRR

oh well. At least I found a hack to get rid of the AIM ads.

indeed, agree with that. here in holland (near to france ) everyone uses msn, and they think "AIM" is a desice or something.
iChat is cool to go to the Britney "can she cook" Spears restaurant, but useless for us europeans...
(i checked msn btw )

Mmmh, well most ppl I know use Yahoo/ICQ or AIM. Dunno about MSN (I refuse to prostitute my privacy). Anyway, that's also Europe I'm talking about.
It depends on a lot of factors. Anywy, I'm mostly doing Yahoo (which could bring out a better Mac version !).

i had it loaded, but wasn't very impressed.. kept conflicting w/ my icq app.

has there been an update on this app in the last 6 months?
