Vote results on which instant messaging (IM) tool is best: AIM, GTalk, or FbChat.

AOL Instant Messenger has been around since 1997, giving it the edge in users and brand recognition. However, while Google Talk and Facebook Chat made their debuts in 2005 and 2008 respectively, they’ve both come a long ways due to their strong integration with more popular products, such as Gmail.

In the end though, over 4000 voted on which IM client was best…

…and GTalk emerged on top! With 2189 votes (53%), Google Talk handily took down AIM’s 1257 ballots (30%) and Facebook Chat’s 511 votes (12%). Another 203 of you (5%) couldn’t between the three IM tools.
