Application: Gaim
Well as you noticed the podcast is not here yet. It is in process though, I just got bogged down with work. So stay tuned for episode one of Bluescreen Free.
This post we are looking at an excellent instant messaging client called Gaim. It enables you to use AIM, ICQ, Gadu-Gadu (Which I have to admit, I have no idea what that is), Groupwise, IRC, Jabber, MSN Messenger, Napster, Yahoo, and Zephyr. I find it useful to talk to people on different networks without needing 10 million different IM clients open. Also I can talk on networks that no native client for linux exists.
You can see all the your contacts from every network in one window. This alone makes this program a very worthwhile application.
While in the chat window there's a useful chat history as well. It keeps track of all your past chats with the contact. Very useful.
If you need some form of IM for collaboration this is an excellent application. Get it at http://gaim.sourceforge.net
See you next time.
