buenosdiaz Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 hahaha i was just thinking this exact same thing... i get on AIM VERY rarely. and usually not for more than 5 minutes when i do. Sometimes i FB chat... i use gchat with a few work buddies or other working professional friends. But only when im at work and im not logged on all day i found less of a need to constantly talk to people as i grew older lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have AIM, Office Communicator and GChat open at work at all times Same here. Texting doesn't really give you the convenience of multi-tasking while at work. I will admit that my IM usage has gone from about 90% personal to 90% professional in the past 5 or 6 years.

PokerPacker 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 I will never again use the official AIM crap again. I installed it on my vista computer and it really did a number to screw it up including making it so I had no sound. Now, I use Pidgin which is free, open-source, multi-platform, and zero advertisements. It communicates with AIM, MSN, google chat, yahoo, and a dozen other instant message clients.

I haven't used an official AIM client in like 5 years. DeadAIM, Trillian, and now Pidgin. I will never go back to using basic AIM. I love that I can have AIM, GChat, and Facebook all open in the same Pidgin window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drums and skins Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Junk you chose to install when you didn't deselect the box. Not quite true. Either way, there are a handful of great multiplatform chat clients. Gaim/Pidgin is good, but I've been using Digsby (beta) and have really enjoyed it. Granted, I only use it for AIM but it works good, looks good, and isn't all bulky like some other clients are (ie: Trillian when I tried it years ago).

Springfield Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I use AIM... or rather, I have it installed on my PC. I talk to people every now and again with it. Much like Myspace, Facebook and all of the other social stuff... it has lost its shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I stopped using it last year. I then connected my AIM account to my cell phone. One night I was bombarded with texts because a friend thought it would be funny to send me jibberish. **** that is annoying and if you've ever done that to someone, you suck and I hate you.
