Who's on it? I have tried most of the popular IM clients out there, and this one is by far the least annoying.

I am whit32@gmail.com if anyone needs to reach me!

I tried Yahoo IM for about a week.

Problem with IM is too many people have an ID they are happy with one some existing system. Fortunately there are clients like Gaim, which is what I use. I have a Yahoo! ID and an AOL ID even though I don't use either service for *anything* else (I do use the gmail account, however). But with Gaim all my "buddies" from all three systems just appear in one list. Works pretty well. I use it on Linux, but I believe Gaim for Windows is pretty good, too. Best part is none of that bullshit advertising appears like the native clients for AIM and YIM have.

I use gaim on Win. It's pretty good, one cool thing for Mike is that it even has a plug-in for Sametime (the Lotus IM tool)

The total lack of ads is great too.

If I could only get family and friends to "standardize" on one or two IM services, I'd be happy to get rid of some of these:

GTalk: marek.rozanski@gmail.com
AIM: marek.rozanski@mac.com
Yahoo: mdrheroinc
MSN: habadogaga@hotmail.com
Gadu-Gadu: 9115171
:?

Hmm... Maybe I should use the phone once in a while...
