Chic, IL Imici

This is um...a bit off topic

I just learned about this kewl new instant messaging client that can combine your AIM, Yahoo IM, MSN Messenger, and ICQ buddy lists into one program. It saves you the clutter/RAM of having all 4 clients open at once. Check it out!

Let me know what you think

 

It works great. I am on it now talking with some ICQ contacts and some AIM.

 

I have found out the following, you must have an account for each service you plan on using.
Second, when naming your contacts, stay away from using (). Example: Empyre (Todd). I could not send Todd a message nor delete him from the list and add him again. I had to uninstall Imici, delete the install directory, and reinstall Imici before I could add Todd again, this time naming hiim Empyre Todd.

Just letting you know.

 

Why would you put a name in paretheses in the first place? With the exception of the ICQ client, which does it for you?

Yep, I am using it as well. I dug up my ICQ number from years ago just to test it out and see how it works. I am using all four services just fine. I wonder how they can tap into AOL's network if MSN couldn't? Hmm... maybe they are too small-change for AOL to care about.

 

I've tried it, but there were times when it couldn't connect with one or two of the different IM programs. I've switched to using my IM programs individually rather than Imici.
