What IM software are you guys using?

I've just formatted my comp, and I used to use Trillian ages ago....

Are there any other out there worth considering?

I have an account with msn, yahoo, and icq, so I'd rather use a single client.

gaim is a good one, and of course, open source works with linux too

That would be now 'pidgin'

and yes, it's good. When I get back to uni, I'm going to start using it again. After using Adium on my Mac, I want some customizability on my main machine

+1 for Pidgin, using it right now for chatting on ICQ and MSN.

Was downloading trillian, but gave pidgin a whirl. It's working great. Thanks!

Used to find using Miranda the best

I use amsn and trillian.

I'm using WLM but I really should be using Pidgin. I'm always gaim for something new. Geddit?!

Er yes so as I was saying. The only problem I have with Pidgin is the MSN smileys but I think someone posted a solution for that here a while ago. Just got to find that thread now. Oh joy.

I like using Miranda, like it better than Pidgin

. So many nice skins available as well.
