What do you think is the best messaging client?
Right now, I must say Trillian, because it allows multiple acount log ins at the same time. But it's only for windows, and I'm not sure if there's a linux version...and I am about to switch to linux. So once I switch to linux, i'd probably go for Gaim. Although it does not allow multiple accounts, it does allow IRC chatting. and furthermore, it is open source ! there's a lot of room for improvement...but im not sure how much active its community is. And although both Gaim and Trillian can be invited for a conference, they can't create one unlike Y!Messenger. And although Y!Messenger 8 can be modified to allow it to run multiple instances so that can you have multiple accounts loged in at the same time, it tends to slow things down a bit. and after awhile, i can no longer invite people to conferences with it, so i had to reinstall and leave out the registry as it is. What about you guys, what do you think is the best messaging client? |

depends..I don't really like skype (don't know why, just don't feel confortable using it:) )...so I go for Y!, because most (all?) of my friends have only a Y! id..but gaim is ok on linux..I used for a while and it is quite good:) (-for linux-)

I am not very particular about these messaging clients. The only service I am using is MSN, I don't chat on other services such as IRC, Yahoo! and AIM. I guess the reason that everyone I know uses MSN so therefore I am not much into the new services. Windows Live Messenger does everything for me

MSN got to be the best now since most of the ppl is using it and its the one that pushes the IM technology that far out! With the new live messenger, MSN contacts can now chat with yahoo contacts! And with using MSN you can contact to most of the ppl with messenging client! And the MSN Messenger keeps getting better in their features and everything works great around... However, they got to fixed their bug and their sign in problems with their Live Messenger since its the only main problem that's rejecting user...

MSN FTW! I personally only use MSN, I have no use for others. It IS the most customizable, with the help of MP!L (Messenger Plus! Live) and a messpatch. It's so easy to mess with it. Plus everyone I know uses MSN.
And I'm sure you can find a port of Trillian for Linux. Linux just owns so hardcore. I've used a Live Ubuntu disc, and it ran faster than the main OS did. (Windows ME) Good luck on that, though. Hope you enjoy Linux.
