Skype is ok, but only because again, no one uses it.

Or better yet, not as many people use it.

Using XFire instead of MSN and AIM ftw.

Tools > Social Networking > Log on MSN and AIM

You have your buddy lists imported and you can set your status in any way you want. Hell, the messengers on the other person's end will even display which game you're playing, if any.

MSN and AIM restrict what you can say in statuses now?

News to me.

Not what I meant. lol

On XFire, whatever status you set for yourself gets set for all messengers in one foul swoop. If you don't feel like talking to anyone, just set your status as AFK or whatever. Plus, if you want to talk to people while playing a game, XFire's in-game chat feature allows you to talk while not having to minimize your game to do so. It's very handy. Not to mention it also allows you to broadcast games, record videos, take screen shots, host voice conferences, etc.

I dont do all the shiitu that justin said, i dont broadcast usually, or record videos with xfire/take screenies with it. and i use windowed mode ... so i mostly use mine just to talk to my jms friends since we all use xfire...

Get a multiprotocol multiplatform client kthx


Is moving your mouse is enough to trigger "You are available" on AIM? - Russt - 2010-04-15

Maybe the best messaging client is the one that you're most familiar with and that most of the people you want to talk with have.

I use Pidgin.

I use Pidgin. Have Google Talk, Skype, Xfire, four MSNs, three AIMs, and IRC running.
