Need suggestion, Skype plus AIM client?

FredFarnes · 02-22-2010, 11:06 AM

I use skype, and would like to chat to affiliate managers who use AIM.

What's the best multi-protocol pc-based client to combine those two?

I'm not aware of any system that will let you use the Skype network other than their client.

For most other IM networks, Pidgin is quite solid. It has versions for various releases of Windoze and Linux, including Ubuntu Netbook Remix. It handles AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, IRC, QQ and a bunch more.

You can get it at Pidgin, the universal chat client

For Mac OS, a similar client can be found at Adium - Download

Thanks, I might have to switch to AIM..

I looked through the Pidgin site a bit more, and there is a plug-in that supports Skype text chat. Nothing for the voice feature, though. Not that I could see, anyway.

	So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.
