Title: A universal messenger?
Post by: ZealEmpire on December 17, 2006, 08:27:17 AM

Hey guys I was wondering if there is any software out there that lets you import aol messenger and yahoo messenger all into one messenger.  Like basically a peice of software that when you log in would display your aim and yahoo friends.  This is just because im sick of having 3 messengers installed and have 5 people on one and 10 the other  :(

Thanks

Hmmm well Trillian might have just answered my own question but it wont connect for some reason.  Anyone have any ideas?  All I have is Windows Firewall and AVG running

After looking at Comparison of instant messaging clients (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients), I was going to suggest Trillian.  You might post a question about the connection problem at Trillian Discussion Forums (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/forums/).

Trillian is good.
Also try Miranda and GAIM.
I use GAIM myself.

Cool, good for you.
I hate having lots of IM clients at once.
It's so confusing and annoying.
