Yeah I know but you can't really do things together over Skype and it's weird being on video chat while you are both doing other things.

Skype annoys me a little in that sense. Even if my webcam is minimized, I'd get people asking stuff like "what are you doing", "what are you looking at". And it's a bandwidth hog.

IMO, texting/whatsapp does work better than IM these days. Downside is that sometimes I don't want certain people texting me, like weird internet people, so IMs filter them out.

They do have apps but honestly how practical is that? You can't video chat with someone will you're walking somewhere. Also at least where I live, mobile network speeds and data caps are too low to be practical for that.

cpu memory

I hope you don't mind me asking what is cpu memory?

Skype is excellent for video chats even on mobile networks, at least around here. Not that great for general chatting but it's okay. Haven't really used MSN in ages. Mostly we use it at work to quickly send links and whatnot.
