What ways of Internet communication do you use?

As for me, I love boards I always liked them ever since I started posting at boards, pretty much. I also like any type of live chat like AIM or IRC that involves typing I never felt comfortable with Skype. I also am not a fan of stuff like Facebook, although I use Twitter occasionally.

I use 5/7 of the methods listed.

-Message Boards: Just because they're awesome.

-IRC: Alternate way of communicating with people from here (although I haven't be on much lately due to being occupied with school related things).

-Facebook: I very recently (less than a week ago) signed up for this so that I can keep up to date on what my friends are doing back at home (since I'm living on campus).

-Instant Messengers: My main form of communication with IRL friends, also used to communicate with some Internet friends.

-Skype: Main way of communicating with my family while at university.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I use message boards a lot but I don't usually have great conversations on them. Mostly just respond to question threads like this or responses to people's problems with whatever computer related thing, usually.

I use IRC a lot, and talk way too much.

I use instant messaging quite a bit, any conversation with real life friends is through this. I also use the Facebook IM through XMPP, but I rarely use the facebook site directly.

I also meow on most of these forms of communication.

I voted other because I often communicate through text chat in games with people.

I hate voice and video forms of communication. I don't like how I sound and it's much more comfortable to type what I want to say than to speak it.

I'd say message boards. They're still my favorite means of communication online, but unfortunately they've kind of lost their magic as soon as 'social networks' came into the picture. I use MSN and AIM too, the latter not so much.

I frequent a few messages boards but this is the only one I've really active at. I still enjoy them, though. I do also use Facebook with my family, mostly to share pictures of our children and keep up with events and such. I also skype my brother in New York and now my parents in Georgia. I selected "other" because I also text a lot (not technically online, but close enough) and now use the iPhone's Face Time video chat with my brother when we're not on the computer.

In order of preference and most used.

1) IRC: Allows me to communicate with a lot of my online friends at once.
2) AIM: This is mostly for my real life friends.
3a) Skype: Only with my fiancée.
3b) FB: I rarely leave messages. I don't use the fb chat at all. Mostly a way to communicate with friends from Florida.
3c) Twitter: Rarely, if at all.
3d) Boards: Again, low usage here. Maybe a PM to someone I don't know or don't have aim or irc access to.

Pretty much everything but facebook/myspace and meowing, really.

I tend not to use skype too much though because I sound several years younger than I actually am. Not fun when you're 19.

IRC
Instant Messenger
Message Boards

In order of most preferred to least. IRC is the easiest to keep a conversation going, and more people can get into a conversation without the need to start a group chat. The thing I prefer least is PMs on message boards. Over the course of up to a week I could have a conversation in an hour in a more "instant" way of sending messages which is pretty annoying.

I've used social networking sites in the past, but I hardly did any socializing on them and I never did any networking. I found people ready to spill every detail of their lives and I couldn't agree with that.

Nothing else. I hate instant messengers, and I hate social networking sites. I want to be able to talk to people when I feel like it, not be attacked by IM Windows every time I start up the computer.

Message BoardsHaven't really used these actively in years, but I sure used to.
IRC This is my primary form of internet communication
Facebook / MySpace I use facebook, but only because my girlfriend nagged the shit out of me when I cancelled the account. I'll mostly use it to send her messages online, since she checks it more than anything else
Twitter I check this every now and then, and I've yet to find anything interesting on it
Instant Messengers My preferred chatting method is really IRC, but theres one person I talk to exclusively on AIM and MSN
Skype Its nice for webcam chats, but I don't really do those often
Incessant Meowing sounds like a good way to get punted
OtherIts weird to not see E-Mail mentioned in a poll about online communication. I'll check my e-mail a lot, not as much as IRC, but its up there.

I use MSN to talk to most of my closer friends, and I'm on it most of the time I'm awake and not in class. And then, of course, I come here to be with everyone here.


I may or may not meow during the former.

Yeah, eMail is definitely on my list; higher than Skype, even. It's slow but it works for people who are not super-connected.

I don't use my email to communicate with people. Even way back when I really didn't use it.

Yeah, somehow I forgot to put E-mail in the poll I mostly use it for my mom and some RL friends who don't get into the whole boards/IM/IRC thing.
