Pidgin is a free instant messaging client for Windows, Linux, BSD, and other Unixes. Pidgins benefits over other IM clients because it is free, it can be used on multiple operating systems, and it supports a wide range of instant messaging networks. Some of the major networks Pidgin supports is AIM, Jabber, Yahoo!, Google Talk, IRC, and MyspaceIM. It can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks at the same time so you can chat with your friends on different networks at the same time. If your tired of having more than one Im network open at the same time then head over the the Pidgin website to learn a little bit more or if I have done a good job of convincing you Download it for your system and start chatting the fun way.
