I only have one other friend that has a mac. He's actually the one who brought me into the light
. We try to use it, but he has a really horrible internet connection so it goes in and out. We use it when we can though and I like it

Use it fairly regularly...
Use it fairly regularly 2-3x every week. Normally for conferencing on projects, and sometimes for teamspeex in halo and COD. I dont like the latest updates to the ichat software, its slowed it up. I also used to be able to video conference and send files thru ichat to people. Now it pauses the video while the file is being sent. A real bummer.

I use my iSight quite frequently, not necessarily for iChat though, I prefer Skype for videoconfrencing for my Windoze friends, (and Mac ones). For most of my mac friends I use iChat, only like once a week though.
I don't even use it. No one to use it with. My brother doesn't have a web cam. Which is a shame. got to get my son one. lol
I have a MacPro and bought iSight. So far, I have only used it to look at myself, and that was interesting for about 30 seconds. No one to chat with. I guess I'll go check out ichatters.com, of course, only after I make myself presentable for the day.
BTW, how does one get a copy of PhotoBooth? It doesn't come on the MacPro, or with iSight.

Use it occasionaly to let my kids see their granddad, who is 1000 miles away. It works pretty good...and cheaper than a plane ticket.
I have it build into my iMac G5 and use it really seldom. What I like so is to take pictures with Photobooth.

Umm.. yeah... Yahoo only provides video with no sound (!) and AIM never works.. will always fail to connect. Actually, MSN also works if you use Mercury Messenger.. Don't remember how smooth it was.. iChat is tops. I use it a few times a month for video
All the time with my family and friends who are at times as far away as eastern europe (Romania and Bulgaria), and China all the way to the western most provinces. I also use it with skype for friends that have pc's.
since my sister got her macbook last month we've started using it a bit because the novelty factor hasn't worn off for my mother just yet. It's a bit more personal then a phone call so I don't mind it occasionally. I imagine while I'm in Australia I'll use it a bit more, but we'll see.
I use mine every now and then with Skype. The video quality with Skype is pretty poor so I don't use it much.
