Pidgin is a GTK+-based multi-protocol instant messaging client. It
|
|
is compatible with AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber,
|
|
Gadu-Gadu, Novell GroupWise, and Zephyr networks.
|
|
|
|
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file
|
|
transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing
|
|
notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique
|
|
features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the
|
|
ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program
|
|
when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle;
|
|
and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended
|
|
message notification, iconify on away, and more.
|
|
|
|
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME and KDE's system trays. This allows
|
|
you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to
|
|
be up at all times.
|
|
|
|
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent.
