Everyone I see frequently who still uses IM (and not just Facebook) uses MSN, so I guess it's a location thing. I'm in Ireland. (And AOL is out for people that want to talk to non-Americans, probably, as I had to jump through hoops to get a AIM to talk to American friends) .

Pretty much same here in Sweden. Before everybody jumped to Facebook, they where all on MSN.
