Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is based on libpurple which is capable of connecting to AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, XMPP, ICQ, IRC, SILC, SIP/SIMPLE, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Sametime, Bonjour, Zephyr, MySpaceIM, Gadu-Gadu, and QQ all at once. It is written using GTK+. Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on MSN, talking to a friend on Yahoo! Messenger, and sitting in an AIM channel all at the same time.
Pidgin features include:
- File transfer
- Typing notification
- Away messages
- MSN window closing notification
- Buddy Pounces
- Lots of plugins (ex: tabbed conversation, iconify on away, buddy ticker, etc)
- And much more...
