Just signed up with Google talk. Think I will drop ICQ as sick of the spam.

GTalk name: spankme69

Hmmm, goes off to find out what googletalk is all about.

Edit, nah no good to me. Apparently you need friends.

lol oab

I have google talk but yeah, since I have a considerably large amount of freinds on msn and icq I dont really feel like another IM window.

spankme I use a program called miranda and turn of the (allow people to see if im online) and I never get 'Lucinda' trying to get me to add her dodgy arse to my list.

If I log onto icq2go though. phew I get one every 2 mins or so.

because skype uses your bandwidth when your not looking

basically your 'unused' bandwidth allows billy next door to talk to his secret internet girlfreind in russia at a better quality as you are helping relay the data

one word - iChat.

I have unlimited Bandwidth, It does use a lot of bandwith though , if I am down loading stuff and using the video , the sound can cut out . If I pause the down loads the quality is great , just like using a land line

BTW is Billy Next doors Russian gilfriend cute
, How do we contact her??

Miranda is the only way to go - http://www.miranda-im.org/

I'm logged onto MSN, ICQ and Google (Jabber) all at the same time using a single app. pyro is right though, you have to make sure you don't let people who aren't on your list see if you're online.
