Pidgin 2.10.7-Multi-protocol instant messaging for everyone

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:00:00 +0100

Pidgin is an instant messenger client that is perfect for people who need to communicate with friends who use different applications, or for those who like a little more control over their chatting. The Pidgin interface is quite simple, which for many is a plus, although it has most, if not all, of the features found on other clients. Obviously, the major plus to using Pidgin is that it can support multiple accounts on different networks, so you'll only need the one interface to chat with all your contacts on all your accounts.

Picture the situation. You love Google Talk. Your family is stuck on Windows Live Messenger. Your friends in Poland all love Gadu-Gadu and, for some strange reason, your best friend insists on ICQ. You obviously have an IM crisis, and in the interests of peace and friendship, you need to sort it, fast.

When you install Pidgin, it will ask you for the details of the accounts you want to add. Pidgin can remember your passwords for you, but if you do not enable this option you'll have to sign in every time. Once you're set up, you can do all the things you would expect - change your icon, create groups, configure alerts, send files and even add bunches of Pidgin plug-ins.

For the more technically minded, one of Pidgin's best features are the configuration options. These are much easier to access than in other applications and allow you to manage certificates, toggle advanced settings for your accounts, individually or together, set up proxy servers and even join chat rooms. Sounds too complicated? Don't worry, that's the beauty of Pidgin - you can get as technical or as simple as you like. It's the perfect client for everyone.

Simple, effective and multi-protocol - what more could you ask for?!

Imo-The Imo desktop client

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:00:00 +0100

Imo is a popular online instant messaging tool that enables you to sign on to the main IM networks and chat with your buddies right from your web browser.
But if even in the Web 2. 0 era you still prefer good old desktop apps, you may use the desktop Imo as well. This special version is just an adaptation from the original online Imo to a standard Windows application.
To be honest, Imo is quite limited compared to other popular IM clients. It's got quite a plain interface, no support for emoticons and no customizing options for fonts, colors and other settings that we find in similar applications.
But I have to admit that it does its job just fine: you can connect to the most popular IM networks (MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk amd AIM) from one single interface and talk to any of your friends, whether they belong to one or another network.
If you need to talk to people on more than one IM network, Imo does the trick, but bear in mind that it offers no extended functionality such as emoticons, colors and other goodies.

Facebook Chat for Pidgin 1.69-Facebook chat plug-in for Pidgin

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 08:00:00 +0200

As the name suggests, Facebook Chat for Pidgin allows you to integrate your Facebook chat client with all the others that you've added to Pidgin.

Facebook Chat for Pidgin connects to the Facebook Chat IM service without the need for an API key. It works by logging into the Facebook servers and retrieving your buddy list, so you'll need to enter your Facebook credentials to get access to it. Once you have, you can send and receive messages, add and remove friends, receive notifications, search for Facebook friends, and set your Facebook status.

Everything is seamlessly integrated into Pidgin, just as if you were using any other chat client. There's little to criticize, other than the fact that it might have been nice to have had a link taking you directly to your Facebook account page in Pidgin.

Facebook Chat for Pidgin is a simple plug-in that finally allows you to integrate Facebook with your other chat clients.
