Free, cross-platform, modular messenger

Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an instant messaging client designed for use under GNU GPL license, making its download completely free and readily available here at our website.

Features of the Program:

• Several accounts at your disposal, working between them no longer needs to involve constantly switching clients with different interfaces and functionalities;
• creating comments directly within your contacts list for people in your contacts list to see, as well as saving these comments;
• Multiple contacts in one metacontact;
• run across different operating systems (83 available languages);

Pleased be informing you about a brand-new version of Pidgin client that offers excellent functionality to facilitate seamless communications:

• Text messages may now include bold or italic formatting (with simple font formatting available);
• new tabs will automatically add themselves in order to save screen space, with no limit placed upon their number (though scrolling may still be needed if there are many of them);
• Form separate tabs from contact lists (for instance, you could chat with users of Google Talk and MSN in separate tabs of one window);
• Discover which versions of messenger your interlocutors use;
• discover whether filesharing support exists etc;
• Lockout from offline is distinguishable.

Thus, making communication among multiple friends easy is straightforward when using different messengers; just download Pidgin for free and import all of your contacts!
