Thumbs Up For Adium
I recently started working with folks that use Yahoo Messenger. I still talk to people on AIM all the time though. It gets a little “busy” running two IM clients all the time.
So I tried Gaim (on Mac OS X, via Fink). Well, one thing I can say for it is that it stays connected over my DSL line (unlike the Yahoo Messenger client for the Mac). But still, it lacked a certain… something.
Then I tried Adium X. Wow, that client’s a lot more like it! It handles AIM and Y! for me, and so I’m happy. I love how you can drag screennames from different services into the same groups.
It doesn’t do audio or video, but it does what I want for 95% of my IM needs. Kudos to the team that works on it!
