For those who hate Trillian...

It's lighter than trillian and it's also compatible with icq, msn, yahoo etc... (and also that suck thing from AOL...). Have a look. 500kB only. Free of course, contrary to trilian pro.

I looked at it.

Trillian Free has way more features. And Pro...a ton more. Nice try GK.

But Trillian is still king.

 

[GenghisK]

But it's much heavier... several megs
This is lighter I said. Anyway I don't use any of those all in one IM so... it was just a FYI

 

[damunzy]

Try again when you have a better product to pimp you Mongol! Yes, it is indeed smaller.

 

[GenghisK]

Bah, I could remember Corn saying he prefered small programs to large ones
And yes I there's already a better product: MSN alone ICQ and the other IM suck hard. Plus Trillian pro is no more free... and since I never pirate...

I think you have a typo...it should read and since I never not pirate...

 

[GenghisK]

Blaaaaa what are you saying? Did I ever dare doing such an evil thing in my life? Tssk, piracy is definitely not my hobby! And your postmen won't deny that

 

[damunzy]

MSN alone? have you fallen out of the stupid tree and hit every limb on the way down?!?!?!

So what if the pro version isn't free....you can still get the regular version for free and it is the best multi-IM client out there.

Yeah, that explains the fairly large ROM section displayed on your computer a while back when you uploaded a screenshot of your computer when you filled up your HDD

easymessage isn't too bad but I'd rather just spend the extra few mins and download trillian. Msn alone is just garbage compared to having all of the IM services combined.

Here's a ranking system:

1) Trillian(although I'm usually too lazy to load it unless I wanna talk to someone not on AOLIM which autoloads)
2) Easymessage(woopie!)
3214) Msn(BOOOOOOOOO!!!!)


What the heck is a mac user doing using only msn!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[GenghisK]

Because, most of my contacts are on MSN... Kira, PH, Corny, etc... They 3 are enough reasons to use only MSN

And btw, glad to see you put easy message before ICNothing

 

[GenghisK]

Bah! I talk to PH and Corny on AOLIM......And I like your nickname for ICQ btw.

 

[GenghisK]

Me?? I always use my real first name either on MSN or ICQ... FYI

You idiot! I meant ICNothing!

Mod abuse!

 

[GenghisK]

Ah? sounds fun abusing mods

 

[CornMaster]

GK...

You didn't actually TRY any of those programs you recommended did you?

Well I reviewed 8 in all.

Only 1 besides Trillian got more then 8 out of 10.

4 Others scored BELOW 5/10. Which basically means they didn't work.

Be careful before you recommend programs in the future.

 

[GenghisK]

Lol, you know what? just tried them out ALL this afternoon, no kidding! You and I are really well coordinated
No kidding, I tested them all today, since I couldn't get MSN to work through my corporate firewall. Nevertheless, easy message worked! but it disconnected too regularly. Finally I kept imici and indiatimes messenger. Exit maxxim, , integrity messenger, and devil chat... And some more ones I forgot the names. Well I guess I really polluted badly my registry today (of my office NT4 pc) installing and uninstalling all those things.

 

[CornMaster]

You got the Indiatimes messenger to work!

It got a 0.

Theres no big problems with Trillian, I like that program. ICQ I hated beacause of the ads. Have now been useing Trillian quite some long time now. I can never go back to ICQ now.

That Trillian is big, well it's smaller than ICQ.
