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

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 never had ICQ, my daddy uses cos all his brothers use it and it looks dorky and complicated.

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.

so it seems like canadians use MSN outright, and Americans are split on this
