[MOTHERWELL]

Looking at the screenshots thread I noticed some people have buddy lists with 50+ people in them.

I am just wondering how well you know the people that are in your buddy list? I have about 20 people in my list, and I really only talk to about 5 of them.

I would like to have more people on the list though! I hardly ever use the iChat AV features...

Too many people on your AIM list can be a bad thing. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. I keep mine very limited.

I have about 150 people on my list, I normally on a average day talk to about 15 of those people daily.

I don't know many people with AIM/iChat. Only one I talk pretty regular with. The other one is work related.

I have 182 people on my MSN list though.

I haven't used an IM client in a couple of years...

Under 10 nicks, that's for sure.

I have about 230 on my list and although I don't talk to all of them regularly, I chat with most of them at least once in a while or see there away message every few days just to get an idea of what's up with them.

I have no idea how many people I have on my buddy lists (I use Adium and just have them all jumbled up together, so I don’t really know who’s MSN, who’s AIM, and who’s other stuff), but I only open the app about once a month, so it doesn’t make that much of a difference.

I interact via forums a lot more than IM.

<Pathetic>Well, I haven't got anybody to chat to </Pathetic>

[IceEnclosure]

I've got like 200, really only talk to about 10-15 daily. I've got at least 20 people's phone numbers on here, I regularly send SMS messages to people from my iChat all day long.

I've got about 150.

I've got Elvis as an iChat Buddy.

Just in case you wondered if he's still alive...

I used to have 250 and I started to narrow it down when I ran out of space and couldn't add more buddies. I have them grouped now so they're easier to deal with.

[sek929]

I stopped using all IM services because they're pointless for me. Last time I checked I probably had 300 SNs.

I amassed most of the names in HS, now the only people I care about are those I see on a semi-regular basis.

[mdc]

I have about 15 different people and chat to about 5 of them fairly regularly; the rest I hardly ever see online.

[C.A.T.S. CEO]

I've go 10, which includes AIM and GTalk.

We use AIM at work, so that easily populates list. Unlike email, I haven't (yet) separated work and other stuff, but it really doesn't bother me. Over 150 in my list, too.

[OwlBoy]

I use Adium, so these are split over many networks. For some contacts I have multiple screennames entered and merged into one entity. So those numbers would be much higher without doing that. And the count would go down a tad if I weeded out contacts I have never talked to, ones that got added from spam messages, etc.



Also, you can turn off the sounds starman

I know most everyone pretty good on my list. Most of them I talk to fairly often too. But my list is pretty small.

You are just showing off that you have John Gruber on your list

[Oisín]

Who? This guy?

Never heard of him.
