Can anyone tell me what is the most popular instant messaging software? Any research out there that ranks MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo IM, etc? Thanks.

That might be dependent on where you look.

Do you mean world-wide totals? Or the ranking in, for example, Malawi or China? Or Seattle and nearby?

I am most interested in the ranking of IM services in the entire USA. Thanks.
