Since I am switching from a PC to a Mac, I don't know what messenger to use. I used an old version of AIM before along with DeadAim. I really don't like iChat so I was wondering if there are any other programs to use.

What does everyone on here use?

I use Adium, which can be found on www.versiontracker.com, as well as other cool pieces of software.

Other famous ones are aMSN, Fire, and Mercury Chat.

Why would anyone use anything other than Adium or iChat?

If you are switching from a PC, when have you used iChat before? I just recently switched and I always used the latest version of AIM. When I got my Mac my friend told me that iChat was much better and, quite frankly, it is. I am just curious, what do you not like about iChat?

i am just really picky. i don't really like the blue bubbles in the conversation. :-/ and also how it sorts my buddy list. its dumb, i know, but i have just never really liked it. i am sure there are settings you can change and what not, but i think i will try out adium for a while.

but i only use it for msn. but it lets me login on multiple msn email address which is really handy.

and adium is really customisable
