Which ones do you use?

Curious, had a lot of clients using Yahoo recently and I've had to specifically sign up because of this.

I've never used Skype. It's basically a free phone service?

True about the email. I find it easier to talk to potential clients through a messenger though, it's quicker and more efficient then batting emails back and forth.

Yeah, Skype can be used for video/voice calls.

I use it for IM only though. As an Msn for work-only, sorta thing.

Do you ask your clients to use this or are you using whatever they prefer?

Well, as for me, that's usually MSN or Yahoo, but more often it's Skype, \especially useful at work
