Great IM-client!
Best IM-Client ever!
Best IM out there!
Very good IM. Beats Trillian.
my favourite im client... better than trillian and miranda by far...
It has its warts, but you could do a lot worse.
Jack of all trades and master of all too! Now this world can live with a little less chat clients. :)
I like the sleek quotation marks in the name, and I love that pidgin is the ultimate AIO IM!
I love Pidgin, it's convenient and practical and isn't heavy. I don't have any other messengers installed on my computer except Skype, and I don't need them. I would like to see Pidgin implement voice and video capabilities but how much can you ask for from a free client?
Just to say its a perfect IM client , no need yahoo , msn , gtalk nothing , pidgin can manage everything , a SMALL BEAST! ;)
pidgin is supercute
Никогда не был так доволен месенджером, как Pidgin'ом!!!
@aolcom Yahoo! Messenger provides excellent PC-PC and PC-Phone Voice and WebCam features and you can also add your WLM contacts. With free LaunchCast Radio. If Yahoo! Messenger adds multi-proto support then Pidgin would be in big trouble.
99% of my contacts use the MSN network. No alternative messenger provides real cam and voice support, so I always have to go back to MSN/WLM. If Pidgin would offer cam and voice support I'd remove Windows Live Messenger in a new york minute!
The good:
- Messages have pretty sliding effect.
- Lightweight.
- Multiplatform.
- Multiprotocol.
The bad:
- UI could be better.
- Missing voice and video support.
- Also sending files not always work.
