Sounds good, what does it do that AIM or ICQ doesn't?
Read this article, it explains the IM market quite well.

I don't use the others --so i couldn't tell you. The fact that I can talk long distance for free is what jazzes me up.

yeah, I've done that with my friends back in the UK using MSN Messenger. Its great that it's free but if I was going to do it alot I'd buy a decent microphone and an amp for it.

That's one of the things that impressed me - no need for additional mics or speakers. he sounded as if he was next to me. Easier than on the phone in fact.
