Didn't realize that I was using a 4 year old version til my computer died. This new aim is awful.

I'm using 7.4 or something like that, which I don't mind.

5.9 was always good though.

I kinda wonder why you Americans use AIM, as far as I know pretty much everybody else uses like MSN.

I have been using digsby but I have not been able to find a way to invite yourself to a chat in digsby so I guess I would suggest pidgin.

6.2 failed.

trying 6.9 right now, but based on the icon I think it might be too new as well

Hurr.

I'm just wondering why it's used pretty much only there, MSN would be understandable since it's older, but AIM? Like why did it become more popular than MSN?

Unless it's only a b8 thing, which could be possible since the only Americans I interact with are b8ers.

Maybe because we grew up with AOL?

I use Trillian. I used to hate Trillian, but they made it work pretty well. It syncs chat history between my computers and my Android phone! It also uses push notifications on my phone, so it eats less battery.

My only complaint is that it has ads between some messages on Windows. Not a big deal, though.

5.9 is amazing for sure, but I use 6.1 or something like that. It's basically just 5.9, but with a more modern UI and allows for tabbed windows, which is nice.

Pretty much. No one in America uses AIM, or MSN for that matter. It's all facebook/gchat/skype.

In highschool I used AIM with non-b8ers, but only because I loved the simplicity and responsiveness. MSN has way more features, for sure, but that led to great annoyance at everyone's obnoxious changing names and emoticons and such.

Yeah, I know only a few people in real life that use AIM. Almost everyone just texts, lots of people use Facebook, and a decent amount like e-mail. AIM...not so much.

I'm still on AIM because everyone uses it, but it is pretty strange that AIM is still so popular when the actual official AIM client is so ****ing terrible. trillian and pidgin are much better, AIM itself is borderline malware
