Instant Messengers

[sorrygottarunway]

is there any messaging program that combines AIM, MSN, ICQ and YAHOO?

Or do I have to run all of these separately?

Yeah, its called Trillian. I don't know the website. I tried it and hated it, so I uninstalled it. Run a search on yahoo or something.

Here It Is. Trillian isn't all that bad. It just doesn't have that warm and fuzzy feeling that you are used to in AIM and MSN. However, it is getting better as they work on new versions.

I tried it and hated it but now that I figure it out, its actually a very handy tool in terms of cutting down on memory usage....Did you know that MSN Messanger take 5 mb just sitting in your system tray not even signed in? Interesting! Anyway, I believe the site is http://trillian.cc/

Yeah.

Fire. Works for AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo, IRC. Works great. One buddy list type of window, and a different icon pops up, you can customize the person's name so you don't have the look at "joebb5436435" or whatever online name the person had to deal with.

Fire is cool, but unfortunatly it is only for OSX at this point.

Trillian. But for some reason, it doesn't seem to work with Yahoo! too well.

We've had problem with Trillian not picking up some of our friends on IM. For some reason Trillian won't pick up on blahblahblah@mac.com. I keep telling him he should junk the Mac and get a PC.

You can do this in Trillian, too. I'm a happy Trillian user; the pro version is better than the free version (surprise surprise), and v2.0 of the pro version cured a great many of v1.0's ills. Yeah, I know you cheap bastards hate to pay for software...look on KaZaA.
