The only IM you will ever need
May 6th, 2007
The IM Client war is heating up. With Trillian gearing up and Pidgin becoming an official 2.0, IM clients are growing with new features and tools. If you are logging into several different clients such as AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc then you should try one of these, which replace the individual clients and fuses them into one.
