[flohuels]

linux rocks!!

[princessfala14]

[Munro27v]

I got skype camera and audio to work. But i'm having trouble getting yahoo audio and camera to work. I'm wondering if it has something to do with messanger 10 that just came out. thanks for the tip.

[olyrex9879]

aim me batsauto

[freshprincess20089]

aim me shortiedope010

[IAMVEKTOR]

this program is cool

[HAKERfromGREECE]

can you fix the size of the characters in pidgin like in msn messenger ?I hardly read some words

[jimmyrcom]

go to hell you dumb yahoo

[AimalCool]

Why do you have to swear to me?

I really liked your video anyway and I rated a 5 stars, and you are giving swear words back?

I just said that everyone uses a different search engine. =)

Nothing is bad about that mate...

[jimmyrcom]

bing is improving, but if there's one debate that's been over for a long time, it's that yahoo is garbage that needs to die faster. ask is like yahoo's retarded cousin.

[ArmyofWill]

you should check out mlia, group of awesome people and all against yahoo, lol

[ajustesen87]

Digsby is better....

[hero22zippy]

digsby malware

[Skyburnbright]

You don't know what you're talking about.

[hero22zippy]

be nice

[CiobanuCatalina1994]

try trillian....is the best......it has a lot of skins...this is not so good....

[nicolunacba]

Miranda is cool too, but I prefer this because It's portable (Linux, Mac & Windows) so I can move my profile, history, etc. to every plataform =)

[hero22zippy]

but you have to pay for it

[Nerolus]

Pidgin FTW

[xxcelinux]

New versions of Pidgin now come with GTK.

[hero22zippy]

and facebook

[xxcelinux]

They do? Awesome. I recently installed Pidgin 2.6.1 from the Pidgin-Developers PPA repository on my customized build of Xubuntu Hardy and installed the newest Facebook Chat plugin (version 1.6.0) after that. And Meebo's pretty good as well as sort of a browser-based Pidgin.

[roskildahphreak]

Fuck that!!! Let's see how it handles, god dammit!!

[tvplaydude]

hey can you video chat with it?

[throxnet]

is not that good, atleast not for me

[hero22zippy]

what good for you

[SingerInBand]

Yer i have this program...Its great!

Thumbs up! ^^^LOL

[xxsubzeroxxxx]

wat is ur msn ?

[frvfilms]

now supports twitter and the new myspace online chat..

[xxcelinux]

Also supports Facebook with an optional plugin.

[jasharna]

does it have webcam and stuff

[Ady156]

:) thankyou for the advise

[6519831008]

hi jhhjgh yutyuyt ytuyt yuytuy ytuy

[mordsgaudimachen]

Pidgin does suck on Linux.... Kopete is much better :P but Pidgin works on many systems so its a trade off

[jacksontm78]

how do you download myspace IM to pidgin>

[axxo07]

how to make pidgin to display my yahoo buddy list by id and not by nickname/name?

[DeutschlandHater]

wow Gadu-Gadu is supported?! wow again ;)

[ZVEZDAjeZAKON]

pidgin sux in ubuntu...i already switched to amsn and xchat

[darlingelf]

I find that Pidgin is very useful and reliable. It also supports off-line messages and avatars, which seems to be rare among multi-platform messengers. There are two disadvantages, though. The absence of the option to run the program on Windows start up is one, and the lack of auto-join functionality in IRC is another. Are there any known tweaks to solve these problems?

[pizzadude808]

I agree, the program is reliable. You can put the shortcut in windows startup folder to make pidgin run on startup. Right click the Start button, explore > programs > startup and drag the shortcut to the folder. There you go.

[darlingelf]

Thank you very much for the advice!

[fixthejam]

lol - a lot of people do need spell check

:)

[alisabethmarie]

i need a tutorial for pidgin themes please

[poetryzz]

Actually, Digsby is FREE. and it is very portable. I can add widgets wherever i want and if i'm logged into digsby, you can talk to me from that widget!! You dont even have to be in my contacts!!! NOW THATS PORTABLE!

[poetryzz]

Digsby is a better IM client!! You should use that instead of Pidgen. but, hey, watch the video reviewing Digsby and tell me it's not better.

[christy2drag]

Digsby ain't free. And it ain't as portable as Pidgin.

[TheExclusiveMusic]

Thanks.

I heard this is a really great messenger.

The difference, I think between this and MSN, is that the quality and features with Pidgin are better.

But, that's just me talking.

Anyways, thanks for telling me about it.

[Alienated29]

Can I still webcam with my bitches?

[TheExclusiveMusic]

I am pretty sure you can.

[mcpimpster69]

The best reason to be using Pidgin is so that you can use the OTR encryption plugin. That means your chats are 100% secure from Big Brother.

[HamalSharatan]

Yes, but does it support custom emoticons?

[clubupclosed6002]

merci

[lbrtdy]

pidgin is nice, but it doesn't have support for my dvorak keyboard. Miranda is another good alternative to pidgin.

[LittleBIGPlanetSackB]

I have this program and i use it!

[bubonick23]

used pidgin for awhile. digsby is better.

[thedevo01]

Pidgin is originally made for Linux users.

Is Digsby too?

[kinouye]

can i chat on facebook also?

[DavieMarshall]

Yes, you can download a Facebook chat plugin.

[GS326]

is it free

[DavieMarshall]

Yes, it is free.

[Rapatacavids18509]

And Meebo

[aslos123]

nom nom nom!!!!! hehekekeke I feel like cybering! p

[AngeLxHell]

i'm still a trillian fan =P

[FW352]

omfg i hate this shyt now. It always log me off of yahoo messenger like after a couple of hours or so.

[Adikumoro]

trillian astra please...

[AAscension]

Why not use Windows Live Messenger? Here in the Netherlands almost 9 out of 10 people use it. I think it's better than all the named programs.

[2emoore4]

because not everyone lives in the Netherlands

[DavieMarshall]

And because Windows Messenger is packed with adverts.

[mightywarriorx]

use a-patch

[DegrassiGirl4]

does it support buddy icons?

[mightywarriorx]

whats that

[RuneCrusader]

Yeah. I have used Pidgin since gaim. lol. And its great, much better then msn messenger,etc.

[Raaawwrr]

Ooh, wow. Spell checks. Now my life is really complete.

[FW352]

They don't have xfire? =.="

[redneckboy6983]

hi. can someone help, ive been using this with ubuntu with no problems. now i decided to use for windows and im having problems. it will disconnect at random like a couple of times in an hour. dont know whats going on. anyone else have this problem

[nzds1]

Pidgin is not my choice. I kind of find it ugly and not very smooth. On windows I use Miranda which also is quite unpleasant since it is very naked out of the box and plugins are not very intuitive to install but somehow I think it sucks less than trillian and pidgin. On linux (which I use mainly) I use climm 'cause I love using the command line to be able to work with my messenger through ssh. Also it is small and simply works.

[eyweywey]

this is kinda like meebo

[omid11]

meebo sucks massive cock what the hell is wrong with you?

[storebror21]

You may not like meebo, but for goodness sake, is there really any need to be so aggressive in your comment?

[omid11]

oh fuck your mother you twat hows that for aggression?

[MRauron]

Most linux distros come with pidgin by default.

[dan44762000]

nice of you to show all and sundry your account details

i think i will add you too my msn now lol

nah i am only jk

[lovebugzy26]

does it have cam features like other messenger?

[CrimsonCleff]

no

dang eh..?

[CocaCola2230]

its standard on ydl i get online but my mates cannot see me online?

[Rainmanjunior]

i use aim

[Pegaj2007]

kool

[Ahern3000]

yaaho

[Mozgus]

I'm trying to switch from Trillian to Pidgin, and I'm really impressed at the additional protocols being supported here. The IRC support seems superior to trillian as well, at least on the chat server I'm using. If you run linux, Pidgin is a no brainer, but if you run Windows, you need tolerate a crash now and then, and tolerate a slightly more bloated install, considering the GTK stuff.

[PCguy102]

It dosent work for me, i get an error that says it cant connect:(

[Imatub3rowo]

yet another great tutorial

[sanders93]

I heard about the name change ages ago, didn't know they actually changed it.

[mucitel1]

"mute sound" i think you can... idk

[Daldrath]

GAIM? I wonder what that stands for. And AOL forces it to change to Penguin? I don't get it. But this is an awesome program, I'm checking it out. Thanks. :D

[Floker2004]

GoogleJabberTalk? you have no clue :>

[lbrtdy]

i love you! not literally, b/c im not gay, but you know what i mean :P

[rambofi]

meebo is also another one too

[ThEyCaLLMeBLaK3]

i use that progam really awsome

[pimpsahoy1594]

is skype or xfire compatable?

[jimmyrcom]

both proprietary.

[Seifer007]

that is convenient thanks a lot!

[D0M1N8R1x]

I think the move to new name was done mostly because gaim is misleading. gaim was its original name because the project originally only supported aim and since it has grown to support so much more the name change was in my opinion necessary. I dont know if there were really legal stuff that helped push the name change but it was a name change long over due.

[XFLSOT]

u can also do this on meebo dot com. u can do it online, no download at all. It works really well.

[cssryan]

Erm.. the 'new' game actually. Creating spamming plugins is to easy though :P

[cssryan]

Gaim*

[busybjorn]

The old Gaim... Wee i found another Pidgin user :)

[crillep66]

Let's say I pretty much only ever use MSN. But I also have yahoo and IRC for those rare occasions. Should I switch to pidgin?

[gencwiz2]

After a lot of configuring on it, I love it now.. lot better than Trillian

[zachevans93]

thanks man, i love it i i took out all my messangers and got this one!

[lancelotdragonfire]

your controls of the filmed screen had been better

[jimmyrcom]

in what way

[lancelotdragonfire]

For example as you type "gaim". You don't show it in that moment.

I think you could have done the video more smooth.

[Ozman2010]

i cant find the plug in for spell check need help

[jimmyrcom]

prompts if you want to install it during installation.

[Ozman2010]

ok thanks

[maheshis]

pidgin is cool...but also check out miranda IM...got tons of plugins and the memory usage is a mere 8000 k even on running 5 different networks

[vernong1992]

does this support Offline IM, like Windows live and aim?

[Sebastiansnittgaard]

Hey Jim, once and agian thanks for a Brilliant vidoe, i dont know if you've had the chance to show "Picasa 2" yet, if not do it. really great program.

[hellschild0666]

I use Trillian, is Pidgin better?

[hellschild0666]

never mind i read the earlier comments and see you explained the pros and cons already.

[NaturalBornDreamer]

What are you saying mate? Do you know what 10 MB is for and 24 Mbps?

[RealPopo]

Well, i have Kopete

[jimmyrcom]

gaim is for linux too, but bah same.

[RealPopo]

yeah i know.

[RealPopo]

OMG I HAVE GAIM!!!!

[2Hawt4UBabii]

you can do the same thing w/ a website called Meebo. No downloads just sign up and add accounts from aim to jab or something like that. xD

[jimmyrcom]

you're right, meebo is great too if you use public computers.

[araciel82]

talk to jimmy ruska?!?!? one does not just talk to jimmy ruska...that's like talking to god.

[AiDeNandMyCHEM]

I love you.

[greenhippo33]

Mahn whoo neads sppel chek now dais knot me I went 2 scool Duh

[triforce209]

(irrevelent question)

do you know any ebook like free download and were u the one that had a vid to download any vid from internet

i love your work

its very informative

[wotsfreek]

Wow, I use Trillian but this looks better.

[jimmyrcom]

trillian has better support for cams and audio I believe, but pidgin is light weight and multiplatform.

[bemusedcapybara]

coooool. thanks for sharing, jimmy.

[chrisymon]

ahh cool

wat happens if we add those accounts?

[jimmyrcom]

You can talk to your friends that use different instant messenger all in one chat client.

[chrisymon]

i mean if u add ur msn addy wat would happen? but gd videos though

[jimmyrcom]

you can contact me, but I prefer messages from youtube just be private messages on youtube.

[chrisymon]

ahh sweet i will then =)
