AIM vs MSN

Post by crustine »

Can anyone tell me what the difference is? Do more people use AIM than MSN. I dont think anyone I know uses AiM but I hear much mention about it here so i wondered what draws people to one or the other. Is the difference like myspace vs facebook? Thanks for any info

Go with MSN, everyone uses it and its cool.

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

I do use MSN but was considering AIM. I think we should all reinstate our ICQ accounts again it would be a hoot and we would be the only ones using it.

I used to have ICQ, I've had MSN for years (as all my Cdn friends do) and I've only had AIM for a few months cuz I had to get it in order to connect with Nikki :P

ICQ was before I even did instant messaging.

I use msn, I only sign on aim to talk to one friend cause she still has aol and doesn't sign into msn...

I know very few americans with MSN. Most of my American friends use AIM, and most of my Cdn friends use MSN

I'm in America and I don't think I know a single person with an msn name. Everyone I know uses AIM.
