Tip #4360 - Pidgin
Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
Pidgin
If you haven't
noticed, there are so many different instant messaging programs these
days. I mean, there's AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google
Talk, IRC Chat and the list goes on and on. That's all good and well,
but there's one little problem: all of those IM clients do not talk
to each other.
For example,
if you have a friend who uses AIM, you have to have AIM as well. If
you have a friend who uses MSN Messenger, you need to have MSN Messenger
too. And so on and so forth. Doesn't that just seem a little ridiculous
to you?
Well, for this
week's download, I found a program that simplifies all of that! It
is called Pidgin and what it does is combine all
the instant messaging programs together into one. All you have to
do is install Pidgin onto your computer and enter in your usernames
and passwords for the different IM programs you use. Pidgin will do
the rest for you! That way, all you have to worry about is one program
and you can still talk to all of your friends, no matter what instant
messenger they use. How cool is that?!
You can download
Pidgin for yourself right here.
Have fun with it!
