Editor's Review of Pidgin
There's one big problem with instant messaging programs--they're each individual islands, unable to communicate with one another. If you're an AIM user, for example, you won't be able to communicate with MSN members, and vice versa.
Pidgin solves the problem neatly. It's a simple universal messenger that lets you communicate with multiple IM networks from a single client. You'll be able to connect to AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, ICQ, and many others. Also useful is that there are plenty of free plug-ins available, including ones that can store a history of your IMs, store notes about buddies, and more. You may have heard of this program under a different name; until recently it was called GAIM. --Preston Gralla
