Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. It is compatible with
|
|
Oscar and TOC protocols, ICQ, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.
|
|
|
|
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks
|
|
simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL
|
|
Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an
|
|
IRC channel all at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer
|
|
(coming soon), away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing
|
|
notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A
|
|
few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you,
|
|
send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away,
|
|
signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text
|
|
replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away,
|
|
and more.
