Having said that, honestly, there is no more need for these branded, ad- and bloatware-laden crappy messengers when one simple one will allow me to communicate with just about everyone. Since I don't care for it anyway, psh.Īnd why would I use a multi-messenger website for IMing, when I have a perfectly good client? That supports all major protocols? This is akin to saying 'I want an alternative messenger, but I don't.' What?! Pick one. And about the only thing I don't get with Pidgin is video. I mean, my God, MSN AOL and Yahoo messengers are freakin HUGE! And please don't tell me that the ads are necessary, because if I can use Pidgin that has no ads, well then.

I'm going to have to reference b0mmel's statement from below, just to provide a opposing opinion for those who may care for it: the purpose of alternative messengers, not to point out the obvious, is to provide a user withĢ) a method by which to connect to multiple chat protocols should one wish andģ) a lightweight client without all the bloatware.
