I only use AIM because that's where everyone else I know seems to be.
BTW, I agree with SoreArms, and I leave the AIM client in Invisible Mode most of the time. I know a few people who will stay on AIM with you all day if you let them.
recent studies suggest that the majority of people who don't use IM on a regular basis are, in fact, dirty, land-scaping mexicans. or fat, old people that like cats.
I wouldn't use it. They'll probably store your chats on their servers so they can index it so they can serve you pr0n ads since it'll be all dirty chat anyway.

I really don't use any kind of IMing anymore. Mostly I used it when my sister lived a few hours away at college. Once I changed my cell plan for free/cheap calls to canada it made it even less necessary.
Though as of late I only have free time here and there. I'll have to ponder it.
