Okay, it's kind of gay having to run more than one, I
usually have AIM and MSN running.

What's the best one that allows you to communicate with
people on both?

I have heard of Gaim and Trillian.

Opinions please, thanks.

same?

Oke, but can't you keep in contact with all the peeepz by
using only one instant messenger?

people outside of the u.s. usually don't use AIM.

ephos: is there a way to do yahoo messenger on this too? i
see the icon in a screenshot, but it didn't ask me if I
wanted to.

Having more than zero running is kinda gay. I prefer
keeping to touch with people by actually seeing them in
physical presence. It that is not possible then I get retro
and resort to carrier pigeon. (Pigeons look similar to the
attached picture)

85.45623% of people who beleive in God beleive in instant
messengers. Only 8.32% of people who don't beleive in God
beleive in instant massengers.

Scientific conclusion:

Those used to spending time talking something that they
can't see find it 'cool' to use IM.

Download Trillian Pro BUY NOW!

that makes it suck.

Miranda is only like version 0.3.3 but it's awesome, I just
spent almost this whole time customizing it.

what makes you say that?

miranda seems more stable, and i dig the way it's set up a
lot more than trillian.

the only thing really is being able to send people files. i
see i can accept files, but how do you send? and you can't
direct connect in AIM to insert pictures either I don't
think.

you just drag the file from your desktop (or whatever) onto
their username... i think it also works dragging the file
into the chat window.

also, in the chat window there should be a button with a
little triangle (if you're using the default theme), in
there there should be an option titled 'file'... i think
that should allow you to send files as well.

something must be wrong, it should have sent you a message
when I added you, and I tried adding myself: i got no
message. so I think jabber is not working. I am also
running the nightly alpha build, so that might be a problem
of some sort.

yeah.. i added mappatazee, but it shows you as offline, and
i'm not getting any info about you.

were you able to see my full name? and, did you search by
my nick?

this is the first time i've ever tried jabber

yeah, i searched for 'ephos', it came up with a match. I
added and it said it was supposed to send you a message and
everything. I'm not sure what is wrong.
