Best Client for Messengers like ICQ, AIM, MSN..
 

Looking for a client that will allow me to be on several ICQ's or AIM's at the same time, what would you recommend? I have used Pidgen in the past.. Im sick of using the standard ICQ thingy..

i use pidgin... it looks ugly, but works fine for me...

Trillian Astra

Trillian seems to be among the most popular.

pidgin ftw

they all suck

trillian or pidgin... adium for the mac

Trillian Digsby pidgen

I tried trillian and had nothing but trouble. It kept disconnecting from ICQ. I ended up with Digsby and it rocks.

Trillian Astra here as well!

Im using Miranda.

Digsby looks interesting

Tested Digsby on one of my machines and it seemes to work pretty good...

miranda-im

I use Miranda and I like it because its really light.I even carry a copy on my pendrive in case I need to go online from a cybercafe or something.

One thing I dont like about using ICQ is that for some reason my contacts dont load correctly whenever I'm on different computers. Say I use Miranda on my laptop and I add a new contact, and then go to my work PC and load ICQ there, for some reason the new contact is not there or it just shows the ICQ number instead of the nick.

That sucks because I use ICQ a lot from my cell phone and I have a bunch of ICQ numbers on my list instead of nicks.

I think the adult industry is the last place where ICQ is still used hehe... we should look to move to a better alternative like google talk or something.

Im am no expert but I would read this article before deciding it is at technie-buzz. iIam not allowed to post a direct link to it just yet as i have not made enough posts.

Hope this helps

Miranda.
