Hi y'all!

I am pretty new(ish) to Mac and want to add some more buddies to my iChat list (all my real-life friends have PCs :( )

I am 25yo, male, Irish, living in England.

So, feel free to let me know if you would like to have the honor of being my iChat friend.

Do your friends use AIM? If they do, you can add them! Only friends with MSN or Yahoo can't be added. I'm not sure about Skype.

Most of my friends are on MSN or Google Talk :(

You can communicate with other people on Google Talk via iChat.

linky

EDIT: Apparently MSN can be used indirectly, but it is rather more complicated than setting up Google Talk.

Unless you're just stuck on iChat, try Adium. It does most all messengers.
