I love Pidgin because I can sign my two accounts: Gtalk and Yahoo with one application while running Gtalk and Yahoo Messenger eat too much RAM.
I also try Miranda and I have to say it is the tiny IM application(118kb) with basic feature for IM.

I’m using Trillian Pro 3, and I’m really looking forward to the latest version: Trillian Astra

Do you use Trillian Pro or the free version? I was using the free version and was not overly impressed, although I only used it for basic chatting so it wasn’t a big deal.

With Pidgin you now have the ability to use custom plugins, which I think makes it pretty cool.

Trillian vs. Pidgin review is a good idea, I’d just have to get Trillian back to do a just comparison. I’ll add it to my list but feel free to do so on your site if you get to it before me.

I am a faithful Trillian user, I tried GAIM once but wasn’t impressed (because it lacked a lot of features that Trillian had) - has that improved?

What about a Trillin vs. Pidgin review article?

I have no clue why it didn’t work before, but now it does

@Damien :: I’m liking it quite a bit so I would be interested in your thoughts if you give it a try. Drop me a line once you are connected so I can add you to my “buddy” lists.

@Olst :: Back when it was Gaim I never was able to get it configured right to work with the corporate firewall and proxy at work so I gave up on it. But so far I am really liking Pidgin.

@Hungary :: Yes you can connect to icq users from what I read on their site, although I haven’t tried that.

Why do you say that? It seems to work and I have connected with one other AIM user so far using that name. Since I could not retrieve my old password I signed up for a new account and it asked for an email address as the name, which is what I listed above.

You should be a rapper, Dave. Just sayin’.
