So I’m trying out the new 8.0 of Yahoo Messenger (YIM), which allows you to link up to MSN Messenger Windows Live mail users. Haven’t gotten the one person (a contractor here) to respond yet, so I’m not 100% sure it works, but it’s kind of nice nonetheless.
I still prefer GTalk’s cleaner interface, but I’ll settle for YIM (which most of my group uses). Plus, it supports SMS access from my cell phone, which is a nice way to stay in touch with Margie whilst away.
I have Trillian on the Laptop and it *seems* to work fine.
