MSN vs ICQ vs AIM vs Yahoo IM

[Deep213]

Does anyone know any sites that offer comparison of features between these 4 Instant Messengers....i've check through this site, but can not find anything....except the interoperability matrix. Can someone please post some links...thanks.

Do you have a specific question?

Generally speaking, Yahoo and MSN and ICQ are pretty similar in features.

Yahoo and MSN have an edge in the area of video chat, but that will change soon now that the SEC has agreed to allow AOL to offer that feature.

They all cover the basics, like chat, file transfer, voice. The biggest single factor in choosing one is system compatibility and what most of your friends use.
