Universal IM Program

Sev · **Posted:** August 20th, 2007, 8:59 pm

Well due to me getting another staff writing job (don't worry, it's a halo site, not RuneHQ or anything) I need AIM but I don't wnat to have AIM and MSN open at the same time. I don't like meebo either.

So basically I want a universal IM client on my PC. I remeber Shane talking about one but I have no clue what it is. I would like one that's like the MSN client, but it's universal. Thanks.

The ones to go with are:

Trillian - http://www.trillian.cc (Winders only)
Adium - http://www.adiumx.com (Mac only)
Pidgin - http://www.pidgin.im (Open source, used to be known as Gaim)

Those are the ones I talked about

My friend uses trillian to talk to me on aim...it works darn well.

I'd say so. I love trillian, it's great! The only thing is that it says Kyle {School} when I talk to my MSN conteatcs and I can't figure out how to change it, I want it to sya Kyle (Sev) so people know I'm Sev, help?

I would say trillian or gaim.

Sev, to change how your name shows up: open the main window->Trillian menu->My Identity Information...-> edit your name to whatever you want.
