675838 2008-06-05 07:39:00 whats the best Im alternative for windows? Since i use MSN/Yahoo/AIM and i occasionally video chat with friends on MSN, is there a fast alternative to all those IMs? I have tried Pidgin, and Trillian but im not sure, any other suggestions? aidanmaz (7180)
675839 2008-06-05 07:42:00 I dont think any of the others support video Speedy Gonzales (78)
675840 2008-06-05 08:11:00 Okay, cheers, aidanmaz (7180)
675841 2008-06-05 08:28:00 How about skype?

I've been on the receiving end of a video chat, but not set one up myself.
And does instant messaging just fine.

I guess it would also mean you friends would need to get skype also.

675842 2008-06-05 08:53:00 Yeah, I reckon Skype might be ok. Could try ICQ? lakewoodlady (103)
675843 2008-06-05 11:29:00 Digsby is the best alternative to MSN but unfortunately no video yet. beeswax34 (63)
675844 2008-06-05 12:46:00 Maybe try Google Talk (labnol.blogspot.com), where I think you can get a video plug in (www.searchenginejournal.com). But requires a Gmail account... kahawai chaser (3545)
