i needed to be accessible to someone on another instant messaging system, so i finally took a look at adium. it’s a very nice little instant messaging application that supports the major instant messaging systems.
it took me some digging to figure out how to move the whole contact list around, though. you need to hold down the apple key and drag it.
the ichat in tiger will have jabber support, but i may end up sticking with adium. with the styling of the contact list it allows, it is much less obnoxious than the ichat buddy list.
too bad none of the instant messaging platforms has really opened up.

My favorite feature on Adium is the syncing with Address Book. I have it displaying they're real names, which I really, really like. Of course, it gets me asking people, "So, what's your last name?" which might come across as a bit weird...

Sorry, comments on this post are closed.
It's probably hopelessly optimistic, but maybe just maybe Jabber being in iChat and OS X server will help Jabber along a bit.
