AIM seems to be more popular. MSN and Yahoo place and show.
ICQ seems to be seriously declining. Unless you get a multi-format util
like Trillian, you can only talk to the same format as yours. So I'd
suggest AIM unless all their friends use another. Or boot Windows
and run Trillian so they can talk to anybody. Recent survey info:

I demo'd a java version back in the ISIG days. Still being updated
apparently. Free at:

Note that lots of perverts and child molesters use IM and chat. Teach
the girls to be careful. Orange County Sheriff has a good program for
teaching parents what to watch out for.
