Instant Messaging hasn’t quite become the super online ad vehicle some thought it would, but consumers are sure addicted to it. Nielsen/NetRatings has revealed that more than 41 million, or nearly 40% of the active Internet surfing population at home, used at least one of the four major IM applications during the month of May. In addition, nearly 12.6 million office workers used IM during the same time period, reaching 31% of the total active Internet population at work. AOL Instant Messenger took the top spot as the No. 1. instant messaging application, attracting more than 22 million unique users. MSN Messenger drew nearly 15.7 million Internet users, while Yahoo! Messenger attracted 12.4 million. Rounding out the list, ICQ users totaled nearly 4.4 million during the month. That’s Computer Report for this week.
