    Question Best IM?

    Ok i havent used an instant messenger for like 8 years but now i want one to keep in touch with a friend of mine, so i was wondering if anyone here had any opinion about which is the best to use now at days? I used ICQ but according to wikipedia it seems like Jabber is better. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks guys!

    But yea, Pidgin is the best because it handles practically every network in one program - so if one friend uses AOL Instant Messenger and another uses MSN Messenger, you can talk with both without having to run separate programs.

    I really like miranda as an open source alternative
    to the different corporate bloatware. and, they also
    have a portable version that you can put onto a thumbdrive.

    and i fogot to add, go ahead and check out jabber.

    It is a very viable alternative to both AIM, MSN, and YAHOO..

    it will work with open source chat/im clients such as miranda

    and pidgin, with less exposure to corporate servers and

    corporate data mining... good luck!

    I can see that youre working on the 7th post in ten minutes, when you spam to get your post count up you'll get banned!

    And you dish out this advice, but you dont know what Waste is, or how to get a seed box? Bullshit.

    Offtopic, but you started 3 threads and bumped several old threads in your first few minutes of even being registered here. Go away, don't come back, you will not be missed, and you will not get any invites to torrent sites.

    I just use regular AIM most of the time.

    However, meebo.com is a nice online alternative when you can't install AIM or other messengers, or get AIM express to work.

    Seriously, meebo.com is the shit. The only problem is that it takes a little bit to first load up, at least on some slower computers.
