is there any good unified messenger software?
that you can use to talk to people on MSN, Yahoo and AIM... with one application so I dont have to run all three all the time?
Anyone know of such a thing? |
Trillian is my favorite of the all-in-one chat clients. I haven't used chat clients for so long though, so not sure if there is something new and fancy out there.
|
Trillian absolutely rocks. Talk to all my MSN, Yahoo, and AIM friends at the same time. Semi-transparent windows, too.. ooooOOooh.
The Linux geeks like Jabber, too.. it's open source. |
Gaim 2 was just released. It supports all the major networks INCLUDING Google Talk.
|
Trillian is pretty good. It works well; continues to keep me happy - which is sometimes harder than it may seem. :D
|
thats looks pretty good. Thanks! (Trillian)
|
Trillian has some serious limitations since they've split it into a free and pay (Trillian Pro) version.
People say good things about GAIM all the time, but it struck me as bloated crap. I use Miranda. |
GAIM is not bloated, it’s nice and, modular and concise, i love it.
|
I would have to agree with trillian. Its important to find a skin you like though. the one it comes with is kinda annoying. It does have its limits but if you just plan to chat and stuff it works great.
|
I also use trillian and love it.
|
For the Mac (I see OP is probably on a Windows box) I recommend Adium. Great little application, annoying default sounds.
And another vote for Trillian on Windows side. I upgraded to the paid version and honestly there is nothing there that I really need. The free/basic version is really quite good. |
Is Adium the only OSX application?
|
Charlatan - it was the only one I could find. I like that it also incorporates Google Talk - however, now I have some people on my buddy list 3-4 times because they also use each method.
|
Does Trillian support webcams yet? Specifically for MSN? I had to switch back to regular MSN because webcams weren't supported back in... March '06.

I have used Miranda in the past. It is very basic to start off with but has all manner of plugins to configure it. Like the foobar2000 of the IM world; it takes time to get it right but can rock when you do. Not sure about webcam support, haven't used it in a year or so.

I have used Trillian for a while and have never had a problem. I just installed the beta of Gaim 2.0 but haven't used it yet.
|
I like GAIM. It's one of the few that will work with my segregated hard drive. It's ever-so-user-friendly when I'm tired, but it screws with the Active X settings for my work stuff. And being that this is my work laptop that I use at home, well...
|
I support GAIM. It's free and works great.
|
I prefer Trillian because it looks better, but I use GAIM also.
