If you are like the the majority of people that use some kind of messenger, whether it be AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, IRC, etc. The list goes on. It can be a pain using like 3 different applications to talk to just a couple of people. Not only just plain annoying, but it also can cripple your CPU and create major lag sometimes. Well have no fear, Pidgin is here! Support of different clients such as the infamous, AIM, MSN, ICQ, Google Talk and Yahoo among the not so well known among regular users like Jabber, IRC and Bonjour. It also has some handy plug in as well with themes, extra conversation options, auto accept transfer, and even some odds like “Psychic Mode” telling you that someone is typing to you before they send it. Pidgin is not only very user friendly and simple to use, but load up time is very fast and connects right away after starting it up without even sucking on your CPU. All this and without pop-ups, ads and annoying installs found in other applications (aim,msn,yahoo).

Go check it out and see for yourself why i will never download any-other messenger protocol. http://www.pidgin.im/

Update: New version just came out. Pidgin now supports MyspaceIM. Be sure to check it out.
