Pidgin Instant Messenger

By ChatRooms.NET - 2010-12-22

Pidgin is an Instant Messenger (IM) chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously.

Pidgin runs on Windows, Linux, and other UNIX operating systems.

PIDGIN, formerly known as GAIM, supports multi protocol instant messaging client that allows you to use all of your Instant messenger account at one place.

Pidgin is currently compatible with the following chat networks: Yahoo! Messenger, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, QQ, Lotus Sametime, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN Messenger, SILC, SIMPLE, MySpaceIM, and Zephyr.

Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file transfers, away messages, buddy icons, custom smilies, and typing notifications.

Users can add contacts (usually known as "Buddies") in the "Buddy List" window or in the IM window. As a client that supports IRC and other chat programs, Pidgin can also add different IRC channels and IM Chats. Contacts with multiple protocols can be grouped into one single contact instead of managing multiple protocols, and contacts can be given aliases or placed into groups.

Pidgin integrates with the system tray on Windows and numerous plugins extend Pidgin’s functionality.

Pidgin is free and contains no ads. The code is open source and licensed under the GNU General Public License, which means you can get Pidgin's underlying code and modify it to suit your needs.
