Open Source Chat Client

I, along with most of the internet, have started moving away from big name companies and started using open source applications. A common one that most people familiar with is Firefox, which is nice, fast, and works well with all operating systems.

Well, I'd like to introduce all of you to pidgin. Pidgin is an open source instant messaging client. It works well with IRC, AIM, MSN, YAHOO, and many others. You can even log onto all of those accounts at the same time. The thing i like most about this is that it is very easy to use and setup. Another thing is that this is open source, so there are no viruses or Trojans that can be carried by it. If there are any, they can be easily found by looking at the source code. All of the features your standard client has, Pidgin pretty much has too.

You can download and find more information about Pidgin at its website.
