    - SKYPE -

    Hand´s down & here´s why:

    Skype is Light:

    First of all, Skype is not heavy, while other IM´s are rather heavy skype is light and wont bog down your computer by running other programs in the background.

    Skype is Multi-Functional:

    You can, IM,Call,Video,Conference with one or more, AND, you can even SHARE YOUR SCREEN! when doing a video call! that is so useful! Also it connects with your FACEBOOK account.

    Skype is also a Phone:

    For 3.99 Monthly you can get a phone number and people that do not use skype can call you directly. I use it for business and it works great!

    Skype is very user friendly:

    Many IM services besides being difficult, are designed to distract you and get you to buy adverts and/or click on banners and promotions. But Skype is simple, no distractions just pure communication!

    Website Embeds!

    You can also embed it into your website or other locations: just go here to get the code and put it in your site.

    Use the one your friends use!

    the best messenger service in the world would be useless if only one person used it ;)

    PS: This information only applies if you have friends!
