I use Skype. Most people I know use Skype. To my knowledge, it's the most popular IM software. I installed the Skype Mod to my SMF forum and it works perfectly. It installed quickly and easily.
Fantastic! I am so glad it worked well. You might want to post here to give the MOD author some kudos: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=255491.0
But no... We will not add the Skype mod to this forum.
And no, it's not the most popular IM
It probably will be the most popular IM in a few months.
It is rather popular, but I am not sure it is right time to use it on sm.org. At least not yet, it doesn't seem to be.
I don't see why we couldn't add a field for it like Facebook and Twitter. Although then again, why don't we add all the others, too? :P Just keeps getting to be more and more ;)

It is the IM with most user accounts in the world, by far. As for active users, I don't know. According to Wikipedia, Tencent QQ has 440 million active users, while MSN has 330. There's no number for Skype.
Bus as MSN is dismissed and replaced by Skype in January 2013 by Microsoft, the accounts of both MSN and Skype will melt together.

Furthermore, Skype has integrated with Facebook for their video.
True, with the demise of MSN and flow in to Skype, I guess the MSN line could be dropped in favor of Skype ID.
