I've used and experienced ICQ, mIRC, MSN, yahoo chat, Nateon (Korean instant messenging program), and SKYPE. Out of all these chat programs, I prefer to use Nateon or MSN. Previously, I enjoyed using mIRC for quite awhile but now I feel very comfortable using MSN. I don't know if I'm old fashioned or something but I prefer MSN. I had never experienced using SKYPE until now. It's an interesting program and has great features but I still prefer MSN. I believe the main reason I'm using MSN is because all my friends use it too. In other words, if I use another chatting program, I'll have no one to talk to since they don't use it.

Difference between MSN & mIRC:
- MSN is an instant messenging program where you can chat to one person or as a group.
- mIRC is more used for group chatting but you can chat one on one by 'quoting' them.
- MSN you can add friends so you can chat with them when you go online, you also have the option of emailing fellow hotmail users.
- The layout of mIRC is very basic and simple whereas MSN seems quite modern.
In conclusion, there are a variety of chatting programs out on the internet and they all have similar features but differ in someway. Some are mainly for group chatting, some are for private one on one messenging and so on. As mentioned above, I prefer MSN out of all chatting programs because it is simple to use, nice modern design, there is a vast number of MSN users so it's a popular program and finally it is connected with hotmail so I receive notifications when I receive an email!
