Adium is a free and open source instant messaging application for Mac OS X released under the GNU GPL and developed by the Adium team. Adium can connect you to any number of messaging accounts on any combination of supported messaging services and allows you to chat with other people using those services. Adium was originally created by college student Adam Iser, and the first version, "Adium 1.0", was released in September 2001 and supported only AIM. Apple Inc. used Adium X 0.89.1's build time in Xcode 2.3 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad, and Adium 1.2's build time in Xcode 3.0 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the eight-core Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad. Adium currently supports the following protocols:
Adium is highly customizable through the use of resources its developers call "Xtras". The program can be customized by the use of hundreds of third-party Xtras that alter the appearance of emoticons, dock icons, contact list styles, and messages styles. Adium can also be enhanced through the use of different sound sets. AppleScripts can also be utilized to automatically alter behavior in responses to certain triggers. Adium Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later. For further information please visit http://adium.im
