    wish there was just ONE client that took all the protocols. Google talk, skype, msn, jabber, ichat, twitter, Facebook ect…
    i know its a tough wish but i cant be the only one tired of having so many chat clients open at the same time because not all of your friends stay on the same client…

      Adium can do all of those except for Skype, you should try that out if you're not using it already

        where to find that?

  • miggy

    where is the client which allows all the different email places to talk to each other ?

    ..been searching for a while ( tried Adium) to find something to chat while OS X using yahoo/gmail/IRC that both feels nice and is feature rich.

    iChat is a joke – what's that all about – it seems like it'll only talk to other macs…whats the point of that ? … maybe it's time I switch …to Linux … .

    Textedit PREFERENCES doesn't open. I can't use the typo option. red lines are under the misspelled word, but right clicking just erases the lines.
    ALSO – emailed documents that I save change format!
    Email was sent from a PC. Is there a show/hide (paragraph symbol) ability on a MAC?? so
    I can see what's going on to his reformatted document?
    Is there an MAC update to prevent documents to or from a PC to MAC from reformatting?
    I'm sending out a resume… I need it to be as it was keyed.
    Thanks!

    Did you try Vbuzzer? It works on MAC well, and it can be used to make PC-Phone calls at low rate, recommended.

    ColloGUY!? That’s a q (Q), not a g (G). Colloquy means “a conversation especially a formal one”.

    Question, is there an app that allows you to voice chat within a yahoo chat room? because yahoo chat for Mac does not allow you to do so. Only if you go into a private chat.
