What I Learned Today…

Digsby is an instant message client with a pretty nice interface. I wasn’t using it in the past because I wanted to go with an open source alternative and I was liked Adium. That said, TechCrunch is reporting that Digsby has gone open source and so I might have to try it out again! The move gives a new lease of life to Digsby, which integrates different messaging and email  [ Read More ]

I don’t use Meebo regularly, I’m an Adium fan, but today Adium was acting up so I went to Meebo to try and log in to my chat clients and found that Meebo has been acquired by Google. Looking at the list of discontinued apps I noticed that it looks like pretty much everything … so I’m wondering what libraries are using these days? I know that many of you  [ Read More ]

I was pretty darn upset when Twitter sacked its IM service, but this from ReadWriteWeb: Popular Mac multi-service IM software Adium will include sophisticated support for Twitter in its next version, Adium has announced on its blog. Instant messaging access has been shut off for months and isn’t coming back any time soon, the company confirmed in October, but Adium has built its own system. I can’t wait!!!

I know I have talked about Twitter’s lack of IM support a lot lately, but this may be the end of my ranting. Today I read that FriendFeed has IM support! Now the question is – do I want/need to keep using Twitter? So many of my friends are using it and I do have a lot of followers and follow a many people myself – I’d hate to miss  [ Read More ]

I started using Twitter at a conference because I figured out how to get updates via IM. I use Adium and with this one tool I can log into my work Gtalk, personal Gtalk, AIM, Yahoo, Facebook and Meebo Rooms – why would I use anything else? Since Twitter crashed a few months ago IM has been down – but they’ve said it was coming back – now it has  [ Read More ]

I’m a poet and didn’t even know it Seriously though, Adium has released version 1.3 and if you’re a Mac user you need this IM Client!! I’ve been using the beta for a while, but if you weren’t brave like me you may not know that Adium now supports Facebook chat and so much more! This from Read Write Web: Highlights include the addition of Facebook chat to the list  [ Read More ]

This is so sad – they wait til I get hooked and then everything dies! Technorati Tags: twitter

At first I didn’t see a point to using Twitter – mainly because I don’t pay for text messaging on my phone and I didn’t want to visit the Twitter site on a regular basis. Then I started working from home and had IM open all day. Twitter’s IM functionality was very handy and so I jumped on board. For a while now, Twitter’s IM functionality has been disabled –  [ Read More ]

I broke down and installed the new beta of Adium because I wanted Facebook chat – and it’s awesome!!! I was just able to have a Facebook chat right in Adium without having to login to Facebook. Technorati Tags: facebook, adium

Okay, now this is a bit much! I started using Twitter, because I was on IM all day and it was easy to keep up with friends using the IM functionality. Now there is only partial IM functionality – I receive tweets, but can’t send them. I kept my faith that the functionality would be restored and used the web to update my status – particularly because I’m at SLA  [ Read More ]
