For the month of November we thought it would be interesting to see how many contacts total you have in your instant messenger clients such as MSN Messenger, AIM, etc. Feel free to talk about how many IM clients you have if any, how many of your contacts are active, etc. I'd like to thank Kpac for his suggestion for this month's poll. All past monthly polls and results can also be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

Currently, 42 contacts on my MSN account, using Pidgin. At a guess I talk to no more than 20, maybe 5-10 regularly. I need to clean up all my contact lists and information soon. I don't use Xfire any more, but when I did I had, I don't know, 20 contacts or so, and talked to about 3. Hence why I don't use it any more. Skype - 2 contacts, talk to 1 occasionally.

 Curious about folding? Click above or PM me. You can make a difference.

I'd like to thank Kpac for his suggestion for this month's poll. No problem.  I have about 15 I think, between MSN, and Skype.

I have about 60 msn contacts, with an average of 8 being online most of the time. Normally i don't speak to more than 4 people at a time though.

None. I don't use instant messengers. I find it easier to call people than to type to them. I also don't have a web cam.

I have about 15 contacts in Yahoo Messenger but they were mainly set up for PC-to-phone calls, not IM. I rarely IM; I've probably only used IM with two or three people in the last two years. And, some of the phone contacts were only one-time occurrences, so I could really delete some of my contacts.

maybe its because i'm a teenager or something but out of 70 contacts on msn normally about 7 are online at any one time , and if 7 are online normally i talk to 4 of them.
but i say that, normally I pile them all into one window and just have a big confrence conversation, saves alt-tabbing...
out of 70 contacts maybe i talk to 25 or so regularly?

I only have a few. It's amazing to me how people can get work done with so many messengers. Everytime I'm on, someone sends me a message and I never get anything done.
Good idea - bad idea!

off topic- but
Does anybody else "appear offline" a lot of the time to dodge... chattersons? You know, the ones that will waste time going on and on about stuff when all you want to do is go to bed and sleep, and will pause to make sure you're really listening, for you to respond- ugh, it's like having another girlfriend or something...
That describes me you can ask fireballs to.
