A good Instant Messaging program?
    #5835301 - 07/08/06 02:10 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I got new Windows Live Messenger, no search function there.

So i got the new AIM Triton, old AIMs used to have a buddy search feature where you can search for others to chat, but this thing got something called AOL IM Catcher........ only i dont even think it works...

What can i do, should i jsut get an old AIM and try search there eh?

Well, if you want the government looking in on your unencrypted messages, AIM would be OK.

Its just that anyone who happens to be on your network can read, in plain text, your IM's.

Trillian is bloated. Try gaim. Or, if you really want to be minimal and extremely customizable, try Miranda IM.

The point is that it's minimal and customizable. And by minimal, I mean it; even tabbed conversation windows is a plugin, at least in version 0.4.3. Maybe they'd have fixed it in 0.5.

The bonus? Everything you want and nothing you don't.
