Tired of all these IM clients

November 12, 2003 - 8:02pm — mcbride

I really, really like Jabber (open source IM client), but I still have to open the others (AOL, MSN, etc.) when there are incompatibility problems. I still don't get it. Why do these companies not come to an agreement on a standard? Focus on getting subscribers by value-added features. I'm tired of it all. I'm going to delete these other clients and just stick to Jabber until the world determines the best way to implement the whole thing.

Another possibility

You might consider Miranda. It's very open, constantly being improved, works with multiple protocols (including IRC, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, Gadu-Gadu, Tlen, Netsend, and more), and is small enough to fit on a floppy. I'm a convert!
