Well, if someone would like to chat with other Ubuntu users from the other end of the world, post your ICQ/AIM/MSN id here. Just a little chat from time to time, help with some Linux problems, I don't know. It is a nice experience sometimes, and I must constantly improve english. :)

edit: ok... gonna check out the IRC channel :P

He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

This forum is googled so posting your contact details in plain view may result in you getting some odd people come knocking - why not just add the details to your profile?

You can visit #ubuntuforums on freenode .. there is usually someone there.

Why are people so focused on icq/msn/aim when we have Jabber, which is open source and using that doesn't potentially violate the respective licenses of the commercial IM systems. (remember generally people like AOL and Microsoft want $$$ in return for using their service with a 3rd party application)

I haven't been accosted for cash by AOL for using GAIM, yet.

To answer your question: because we have friends who use those protocols. Ideally, everyone would see the light and migrate to Jabber, but that's just not going to happen overnight, or, indeed, at all.

I've been on AIM for a long time now--I've been using the same screenname since 1992--and all my school friends are the same. It's how we keep in touch.

We have to live in the real world, too, comrade.

Well, I use Jabber but more people have MSN, AIM etc accounts.
