MattFancy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I remember when IMs were a big thing in the late 90's early 2000's. I can't tell you the last time I've been on AIM. I used to be on there constantly, but it seems now with text messaging, why would I use IM anymore. Just wondering how many people still use it now.

Drop Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 i rarely use AIM anymore. Only if there's one or two partiuclar people i need to talk to and i know i can find them on there. Other than that, i use the Facebook chat thing mostly. And that's not even very frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Does gmail chat count? Thats the only one I use I guess it could. I was thinking more along the lines of Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, MSN Messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bay Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I used to have Yahoo, AIM and MSN in college. Yahoo and AIM have been mostly abandoned but I still use MSN quite frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 My girlfriend is miles away from me and we don't get to see each other on a daily basis, only every few days for right now (college/work) so along with text messages and phone calls, AIM has been essential to our relationship. I don't like it though, I use xfire for my friends that I've played online games with for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I use yahoo daily. There are a lot of people I stay in contact with on yahoo. AIM.....very rarely do I use that, only for 2 people. MSN....I only turn it on by request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nope, it ended once college ended. Mine ended in the middle of college I guess. My first 2 years I was on AIM all the time. Then once text messaging got bigger, it was just easier to communicate that way. Instead of hoping someone was in front of their computer, I could just shoot them a text and it would be easier.

renaissance Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Wouldn't make it through work without gchat. It's the only way I talk to some of my friends on the west coast thanks to time differences and work/school schedules. Plus, I hate talking on the phone.

Bang Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 One of my larger clients wanted me to use AIM. I downloaded it and then spent the next hour taking all of the junk it gave me off my system. I told the client I have a phone for this purpose. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
