I use trillion and I love it, the only problem is that it does not run GoogleIM. I need something that runs AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and GoogleIM.

Your resourceful answers to help me out will be apprieciated. :)

I can't believe you offer your user name and password for your IMs to a 3rd party group.

That is just hillarious.

i tried pigdin today, but dont like how its set up. is there a way to customize it so that the people on your friends list dont have the icons next to their names? and to make them smaller?

Buddy List window--> Buddies menu-->Show-->Buddy Details does both pretty well.

Meebo got bought out by Google. Service will cease July 11th.

If you were a Meebo user, you should receive an email from them telling you how to get an archive of your chat logs. If you don't by July 11th, it's all gonna disappear.

just got the email that meebo is being retired though.

I use Adium, but pretty sure that's only for mac.
