Is it just me...

Or do people who have Yahoo Messenger never actually use it - myself included?

I think it must be a cycle or something. I don't use it a lot because none of my contacts there are ever on, and then I get people telling me "I don't use it because none of my contacts are ever on."

I don't mind yahoo, really... in some ways, I like it better than AIM and as much as MSN, possibly a little more.

There are lots of different messaging things, aren't there? I've heard of: IM, AIM, Y!M, MSN ... and some others, probably. Which are better? How do you use them?

Its sort of hard to explain... you just download them from their respecctable sites, and figure it out. Its not too hard.

You download the instant messaging program of your choice (this depends on what the majority of your friends have, and if you want extra things, such as email alerts). Then you install it and sign up with a screenname. Then you have to add buddies who use the same program by adding their screenname. And then, if they are on and you are on, you can talk to each other.

I've tried AIM, YIM, MSN and ICQ and Trillion, which is a program that logs you into ALL of the other messaging programs with one program. If you have a Yahoo screenanme, I suggest trying that one first as you can start a small client without downloading anything. I use AIM the most now. If you want to try an internet messaging program out you are more than welcome to message me to try it out. :) My AIM is JanAQ3 and my yahoo is my yahoo e-mail, (Jan_AQ3).
