Hi all,

I regularly type/chat to a friend and we have been using Yahoo Messenger. They just did a major upgrade and it's now a useless piece of manure.

Can any of you tell me some good alternatives?
I already know Skype, ICQ and Windows Live but want something more flexible and user-friendly. Thanks in advance.

    Seriously, you want something more flexible and user friendly than Skype?

    I wasn't saying something better than Skype. I want something different to Skype.
    Anyway I think I have found a few solutions so I will check them out as soon as I have the time.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

      is there one that is compatible with all of the major ones?

      so we can do cross-channel chats...

    I am now using Paltalk. I have no idea what else it may be compatible with. I primarily use it to chat with one friend.
