sobriqueTell me oh internet.
Which of the instant messenger networks is least terrible these days?
I know stuff like facebook and google have them like, built into web pages, but I'm ... less sure there actually much cop. Not least because of their binary-state-ness of either being online, or offline. I'd like something that lets me be a bit more selective. Preferably something that'll still deliver messages whilst offline, which ISTR once upon a time, MSN didn't. Have used MSN, ICQ in the past, and probably still have login details.
Does anyone still use these things?
