They don't care. They have other GG-only friends so they will not give
up GG. They ask "why should we ALL change for ONLY you?"

I don't know any real stats about IM usage in Poland but I guess
it's something like 90% of messages is on GG.

Some people use Jabber but they don't know this, because one of
commercial IMs (WPKontakt) is Jabber in fact. Oh, and it just changed
name to "Spik" and one guy just told me that he is not sure if it still
is a jabber (it is). What a mess.
