It'd MSN over here in the UK too. No matter though, with the likes of GAIM and Kopete I can login to my MSN account on my Linux box :)

Here in Singapore the MSN network seems to be the most popular one too.

thats so bad, because ICQ is much better than msn, but the monopoly tatics of the microsoft, it was changed everything to the worst IM ever made. :(

I wrote my own in PHP. Doubt it'll catch on though ;)

Google Talk all the way for me, but only coz... something to do with a girl.

MSN keeps disconnecting me as well, lame, despite being the most popular here.

Actually, I disagree with you eduac: ICQ is no where near the best, and won't be until they find a way to stop all the spam bots that are around. I've lost the count of times that a (male) bot has suggested that I might want to view their (female) pics...

How do you know the bot was male? It could well have been a leggy blonde, digital princess ;)
Although the risk that could be a burley blonde, digital queen doesn't bare thinking about :bemused:

[edit] Retarded grammar :/

Because when i looked at the profile it said they were male. And when I clicked on the link it went to a p0rn site. It's the little details that gave it away.

here is China,and more than 50 000 000 people are using the QQ,which is a IM made in China.
some are using popo,UC,etc..which also the IMs made in China...
but they all hard to use if you don't know how to write and read the Chinese...

1% use MSN
0.1% use google talk

I don't know about the whole of Canada, but MSN Messenger seems to be most popular with everyone I know, followed by Yahoo Messenger.
