Which AIM client is the best?

Nothing but iChat here. I love seeing the girlfriend via video chat.

Is there a way to video chat w/ adium? Even if the person has iChat?

I use Adium but aMSN is good also it lets you use web cam also you con use a MSN account of course. its an open sorce app also its great.

Recently I downloaded Adium and it rocks! Since I have a mac,the msn messenger doesnt have the same stuff as the windows messenger.

is there a im that lets u use msn and has webcam support,
thats wat i really need becuase everyone of my friends hav webcams

I don't like any chat client that has no webcam audio/video support. So for me thumbs down to Adium. I like iChat but again, I don't wanna stick on chair in front of iMac while doing web chat. I wanna relax and moving around and wanna focus my little kid who's playing around. So again, I would only go with external webcam. that's the only reason I have installed Windows Vista because my Logitech's HD webcam only supports Windows. Mac's builtin camera are not really good enough in low light.

So for web chat, I use Windows Vista with my Logitech webcam pro for notebook with skype, and yahoo.

I find it the best solution to do video conferencing.

ADIUM AND EvERYTHING IS A JOKE

Wait Till Digsby Comes For The Mac Its Gonna O3n

I would have voted for iChat if it could communicate with MSN, Yahoo and other clients. Since it is not the case Adium is my first choice.

Same for me. Although, I do occasionally use aMSN to video chat with friends from MSN.

AIM took 3 minutes to close after taking nearly as long to open on my mac. I uninstalled it after that Aidum is nice, functional, etc... but I'm waiting for Trillian Astra!!!

Um, it's free... I don't pay a single cent for Adium.

i believe adium is the best aim client. it by far beats AIM because i can't ever even get it to work for longer than two minutes. also adium is cool because it can be customized in every way. you can make your own photo as the background own colors, icons, windows. my favorite. as for ichat ive never had any problems but got rid of it about two years ago. the bubbles i found were very annoying. plus i could never video connect or direct connect on there. hope that helps!

to video chat with someone you don't have to have ichat as well. yu just have to have another chat client with video cam

other

I tried Adium, but I really don't like it...I used to use regular AIM, but lately I've been using AIM Lite. Nice and simple, and has invisible mode, which for some reason the mac version of AIM still doesn't have....do they ever update?

adium by far is the best. especially with the new plugin available for 1.3 that allows webcam integration.

that is where you can read about it and download it if you wish. i don't really use video chat so i haven't tested it but it is nice to have the option.

If you are not using audio/video chat, then go for adium! the best for MSN (thats the one i use)

//edit
for AOL too..

knowing that adium has multiple messaging services; as a single messenger user,

ichat seems to be the best for me.

I use iChat, followed by Yahoo messenger (within yahoo mail)

I'm using Y!M, and it causes many inconveniences and problems in mac os. So, for me, Adium is the best AIM client.

i use ichat for AIM and Adium for MSN and Yahoo.

adium is great but its not webcam compatible. that's the only problem.

i use ichat for video/audio chat with people.
