Alternatives to Trillian?
Ellatrue:
I'm a Trillian user, and I really love the program. However, as of late I've found the connection with MSN breaks almost constantly, and it has been a long time between updates. It is much worse than when I use the normal MSN program.
Does anyone know of another, similar program that allows chatting on AIM, MSN, IRC (and ideally ICQ)? I need something stable and free of spyware, and would like to know of any recommendations you may have. Using a separate program for each is not an option.
Invisigoth:
I use GAIM, but apparently that is now obsolete and it is called Pidgin now. I haven't used this new shiny version, but it claims to do everything you want and more. It might be worth a shot, I really like GAIM, so I imagine that hte new version will be good, too.
Zazazu:
Oh, that's why I couldn't find it when I was searching. Our main IT guy is almost orgasmic about GAIM, but I use Trillian because it's prettier. Used...can't really chat at work anymore.
Tyraa Rane:
I use Pidgin regularly...but I've been thinking of switching over to Trillian. Ever since the 2.2.something update (or thereabouts), the stupid thing's been crashing on me at least once a day. I haven't had much luck tracking down what the problem is, either, and subsequent updates haven't fixed it. >:( That issue aside, though, it is a nice little program...though I liked it better back when it was in its GAIM days.
Ellatrue:
I thought GAIM went pay, and that it only works for AOL Instant Messenger. Am I wrong?
