Advantages: Fast, Uses Little Resouces and Easy to Use.

Disadvantages: Not the most aesthetically pleasing IM application.

If your anything like me you are bound to have more than one email address with different contacts on each one. This is when Pidgin comes in...

After trying many different applications for using multiple email and IM accounts I found Pidgin and liked it right away. It runs on low resources all the time and displays alerts of email and contacts coming on-line just like other applications. It offers display pictures and all of the other options available with any of IM program such as; smiley's, ability to change your status, chat and personal messages.

The best thing for me was that on my older PC was its low resource usage and its ease of use. This meant I could carry on doing other things like surfing the web and using office documents without the IM program hogging memory.

There are regular updates with Pidgin and hundreds of add ons to choose from; like showing the music your listening to, to changing the theme and actions of Pidgin.

Thank You For Reading.
