Best messenger?

[Freak]

What is the best instant messenger that combined AOL and Yahoo that's not spyware driven? Anyone?

Is MSN a choice?

It can include MSN. I don't mean which is better. I want a messenger that can be on AOL, Yahoo, etc in one package. There are several for linux and I think there are a few for windows. Trillian maybe?

Oh, then I have no idea.

Sorry. :lol:

Trillian is certainly the best one that combines them... at least last I used it. I've gotten back to just using MSN (which is now "Windows Live! Messenger).

doesn't gmail have a messenger now?

I prefer yahoo since it will also notify me when I have mail.

(Remus, I figured you would be the one to answer this :lol

Yes, Google has a beta messenger. Google talk. I haven't looked into it. WLM has the best webcam support, so that's what Jess and I use.

Trillian supports the major clients... AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and IRC. IRC and ICQ being the original instant messengers...

i like gaim over trillian. gaim doesnt have all the bells and whistles. It does gets the job done. Google Talk recently added some new features like file transfers and voicemail but hardly anybody uses the messenger.

It's what I use out here in Africa on the govn't computers since I can't put the individual programs on the computer.

It's sometimes a hassle, but worth it to me out here.

Java based client... definitely nice if you don't have the software to install. Of course, if it doesn't already have Java on the machine, you're still f'd. :lol:
