While completing an article about WhatsApp, I decided to ask you, dear readers, what messengers do you use.
Traditionally, I'll first tell you about my use cases. One of the main communication channels for me is WhatsApp, which is why I am furiously indignant that it does not have a normal desktop version. Skype is no less popular for me, because whatever they say in Viber, they are still far from Skype in terms of speech transmission quality. I used to often use Google Talk, but after updating it to Hangouts, I somehow began to write there much less often. And a number of friends switched from it to Skype / WhatsApp. With the advent of the iMac, I constantly use iMessage, I would really like this program to appear for Android / Windows (dreams-dreams) Facebook I also have Messenger, there I correspond mainly with work contacts (take something for a test, discuss the next presentation, etc.).
As for Viber, I like it functionally (there are clients for all platforms, both text and voice communication is available, it is undemanding to the speed of the Internet), but very few friends have it and sometimes OS X stupid . Oh yes, and I almost forgot about VKontakte. There, mainly, communication takes place with several close friends from the institute / school, and also readers periodically write there, seeing my contact in our group. By the way, come and visit us.
Well, I told you about my messengers, and now it's your turn to share your list and the reasons for using this or that program.
