RE: Instant Messaging and the World

WhatsApp and Viber seem to have more limited popularity compared with Skype from the people I know.

Unfortunately, most people are followers, and systems like Facebook/Skype have a massive user base. Due to the network monopoly effect, they don't look like they'll be going away soon (then again, see MySpace). As long as MS doesn't royally screw up Skype, it'll probably stay popular.

Whilst MSN is dead, the protocol is still alive though - you just need to use a 3rd party client.
