(ticked "I like both")
I like skype because the voice calls take way less resources on my comp and the quality of voice is better. I always speak wiith a friend while doing something on my pc. I have MSN also, but oly because some of my friends dont use skype and I cant contact them without it. I really hate msn message pop ups during online games. >.< Also, I hate when ppl send complex smilies and formatted font. It's annoying. I prefer skype text chat because it's simple and does everything I need. It sends the message to my friend. Period. I need nothing more. I also use IRC so I kinda like the simple and non-formatted chat.
Also, I chat only if I have something to say. At least in my opinion, in my country MSN has the kind of reputation that some young ppl only MSN all day long (yes, I used it as a verb) without actually saying anything. I had to make a new MSN address because I hated that 5 people sent me "Hello" when I booted my PC, and when I asked if they had anything to say, the answer was "no, I just wanted to say hello". It's stupid to say hello everytime when someone comes online after PC restart or anything. I understand that friends say hello when they actually see each other, but MSN? I don't get it. Now, I have only shared my new address with people who actually mean something when they MSN with me.
I know many of you disagree with mee totally. This was only my opinion, feel free to rant and comment.
