In this new, weekly feature we want to give our readers the opportunity to provide some point-and-click style input on some of the questions we have been pondering. Got a great poll idea? Drop us a note!

With this past week holding two major developer conferences, there seemed to be a theme at both of them. That theme was that messaging in mobile has become a very big deal. BlackBerry decided to open up their messaging platform and will bring BBM to Android and iOS. Meanwhile, Google has revamped Google Talk into Hangouts, and for now, it will become a little more proprietary in nature.

These two changes are met with very stiff competition, in a crowded space, when it comes to mobile messaging services. Whatsapp is arguably the current king and is available pretty much everywhere other than the desktop. Facebook has made a big push recently with their Home UI suite and the HTC First smartphone. There are also the old favorites of Skype and iMessage still soldiering on with millions of users.

In this week's poll, we would like to know what service you have chosen. Do you use the Skype because it's pretty much everywhere, or does everyone you need to contact own an iPhone with iMessage? Is Whatsapp your messenger of choice? Vote below to let us know your favorite and hit us up in comments if you need to voice your opinion of why you use said service.
