I do think they have become a bit less popular though. Much like chatrooms became less popular when MSN really took off. Although I will say that MSN will have a longer shelf life. Me? I prefer bothering Bryan Alvarez on http://theboard.f4wonline.com/http://theboard.f4wonline.com/
I kid, we get on well.

Yea, I used to sign into AIM, but don't anymore.
I'd be willing to bet that facebook is the reason behind the demise of instant messenger software.

It's one of the reasons yeah, the advantage of FB/MSN over a traditional chatroom is you have a good degree of control over who you talk to immediately, whereas on chatrooms anyone can talk to you.
I go on msn but appear offline most of time so no one knows if I am on or not
The thing is too, FB has their chat mechanism built in. Hence, there's no reason to go on MSN, unless you're talking to people who don't have facebook, which is becoming less common everyday.
It's interesting to think: when will facebook lose its popularity?
I'm logged onto Yahoo Messenger right now.
Pretty much, not having Facebook is the Internet equivalent of having no dick these days.
I doubt it will because of the fact that it's not just somewhere you go and chat to people, you put pics on there, you join common interest groups and everything else. If nothing else sites like photobucket and flickr will go out of popularity. It's the same thing with Twitter, people think that's not so popular, it actually is. It's an essential tool for journalists to provide real time updates to people, moreso than can be achieved on news sites. People who think Twitter is just a website where you put "I just had a crap" are best just to avoid it.

:homo: My reason is I have family on mine and I tend to hide when I don't feel like chatting to them..
But I normally have my other messengers on and displaying online.
I'm generally always signed in on MSN but I'm there half the time, I usually just appear offline when I'm away.
eek, never got any reply notices... people are on all the time for ages,say 5 or more at a time then boomph, NO ONE is on... but i have yahoo and msn... don't know anyone on aim or i'd redownload.. FB chat usually crashes tho so that isn't too popular atm anyway.
But yeah if anyone wants me to add them anywhere,,msg me on here or put your addy's here if your comfortable enough doing it. mehh :ninja

Done.
I don't use msn often at all and even when i am on is show offline
I just can not stay there too long and talk and i feel bad after 5 minutes and say sorry i have to go
i don't want people to think i don't want to talk to them it is just can not talk a lot there now..

I never use mine. They seem pointless anymore.
I used to chat a lot on MSN but it seems to have gotten a lot less popular with my friends. I'm still always logged in to MSN but I appear offline most of the time. I find that when I go online I tend to forget that I'm appearing online. Then I leave and someone tries to chat when I'm actually not there...or else I get awakened in the middle of the night. :ninja

People do that to me on yahoo, i have signed on many times to a one sided convo at me, in my offline messages lol
I still use yahoo.but they have have took out the search by state and who is online feature out..so I find it less useful.
Then ofcourse there are those that get upset at you if you dont hit them up while you are online on messenger {maybe I would rather be talking to everyone such as on here}

I don't do that anymore. I really can't with an active tot. I text instead. 
I absolutely DETEST messengers. I have all of mine shut down, including the chat option on Facebook. There are people that pounce as soon as you sign in on ANY messenger and then they'll keep you tied up for 30 minutes talking about nothing until you figure out an excuse to sign off. Those are the people that caused me to turn mine off, LOL
