Title: MSN Alternative.
Post by: White Giant on March 11, 2008, 16:22:08 PM
Im looking for a nice and clean MSN Messenger alternative - not Trillian. Must be able to connect to the MSN network jobby so I can chat to people who use the normal client.

Any suggestions?

Not liked the way its worked for a while. Years ago I used to use Trillian, but ended up not liking that much either.

Will give Gaim a try.

I use Pidgin and I am in the process of trying Nimbuzz.

Pidgin will connect to just about all the IM services and you can have multiple MSN accounts logged in at the same time.

Nimbuzz supports only 1 MSN account at a time but does support Skype as well as all the other IM services. Plus there is a J2ME Nimbuzz client that will run on my mobile :)
