To be honest with you, I’ve had AOL instant messenger and MSN instant messenger, and I’ve found a much better one than all of them I have seen. Keyword (Trillian.cc). Download this, and you’ll never want another instant messenger again. This is the only one you need. It’s basically universal. You can put in all of your screen names for AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, and IRC. You will be able to send and receive instant messages with all of them, and it has quite an array of options and emocons, sounds, etc. Honestly, to me, it is the best out there by far. It also has a very sleek display for yourdesktop. I heard about it from a friend of mine, downloaded it, used it a few times now, and I honestly wouldn’t use any other type of instant messaging. Why have all the separate instant messaging programs, when you can have it all in one? Try it! It really is the best out there!
