Pros: fast, free, customizable, powerful Cons: I didn't invent it.
Like a lot of people, I have a computer in front of me 90% of my day. I'm lightening fast when it comes to replying to friends' emails, but alas, many of them only log on once a day! So actually getting a dialog going takes days: you write one, they...

Pros: Voice chat Cons: not very reliable, lots of unsolicited messages

Pros: New small message boxes, Weather and Sports Scores Features Cons: Problems with sending and receiving messages, Doesn't refresh regularly
