Chatting Live

Yahoo Messenger strongly preferred – My preferred identity on here is bearlaw1968. I have many others working concurrently with that one, though, including HaydennetDotCom, UrsinetDotCom, Bearlawnyc, Jahlawnyc, NYCBearlaw, BearlawtekNYC and JHaydennet because of the way my chat client works. Remember that I will not see you if you are in stealth mode. None of these identities have email or should be itnerpreted as being my email address.

MSN/Windows Live Messenger — I can be found under the auspices of bearlaw1968 *at*hotmail.com (you don’t need an msn or hotmail account to obtain an MSN chat ID).   Other ID’s include bearlawnyc *at* hotmail.com, Ursinetdotcom *at* hotmail.com, joseph*at*haydennet dot com,  or joe *at*ursinet.com.  The first three are NOT a valid email addresses.

GoogleTalk and GoogleWave – I’m bearlaw1968 on both of these.

AOL/AIM– My least preferred chat medium because of no cached messages. I have many identities on AOL, but my preferred at this time is bearlaw1968. Please do NOT use for email

ICQ — While this is now owned by AOL, it works better in terms of finding people. I have had ICQ since way back when, so my identity on there the six-digit number 838047.

Skype – bearlaw1968 is my ID on there.  I use it mostly for chatting, but sometimes I turn on the webcam.

Pidgin — I highly recommend this chat client, even more than what I used to use for years, which is www.trillian.cc.  These programs integrate many different chat clients, including Myspace and Facebook‘s built-in chat.
ISPQ — Free trial download. Between this one and ICUII I prefer this. For those who like to cam, I can usually be found in the Bears/Cubs/Daddies room as bearlaw1968.
ICUII — Free trial download. I don’t bother going here anymore.
Gay.com – “Chat Client” from Gayboi.org is currently under construction, but I am starting to lose hope that there is going to be an effective way to chat on there, so I will probably stop subscribingto this site, which seems hell-bent on making life very difficult and forcing you to keep open and active four custom windows, just to communicate.  When a single hiccup occurs on the gay.com site, all four windows have to e reconfigured again. If you are one of the few that has the patient to chat me up there, I’m bearlaw1968 on that.
