#Download buddy list pidgin install#

The time for those pieces of bloat has, most definitively, come to an end.ĪTTENTION: unless you plan on providing feedback to the pidgin developers, dont download this version. Meh, I don't mind sayin' it there b0mmel, but there is no longer any reason to use the major clients. Technology and the user have moved forward since the days of AOHell. 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.

Reliable, extensible, good-looking, no ads, all major protocols, small install and fast.
