iChat Alternative

April 26th, 2005

I recently started using a couple different chat programs at the same time because one of my friends (hi, Loody!) couldn’t use IM at work. It was sorta driving me crazy having two programs running at the same time.

Enter Adium.

This program totally kicks butt and it is free! I am loving all the personalization you can do… it is causing me to waste a lot of time downloading extras off their site. It also has one chat window and puts tabs instead of opening up a whole new one like iChat. This is much better for me so that I don’t spend time anally organizing my chat windows- yes, I am crazy. ;)

Yay!

Okay, I will admit it- the icon is the clincher. The duck flaps its wings when you have a new message! How cool is that?

    I totally used to organize my chat windows. I really don’t chat that much anymore, I should check it out and start wasting my time in another fun way :)

    That duck is too cute! I would use the program, too, just for the duck!

    This information is making it much harder for me to resist IMing at work. Yikes.
