Freeware February: Adium X

By Barb Dybwad

Today's installation of Freeware February brings you
Adium X, a free multi-protocol chat client licensed under the
GNU General Public License. It supports all the chat protocols you've heard of and a good smattering of those you haven't: AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, Rendezvous, Yahoo! Japan, Gadu-Gadu,
Jabber, Napster, Lotus Sametime, and Novell GroupWise.

Two of my favorite things about Adium: 1) Tabbed chats. No more digging through a forest of windows to find the right conversation. At this point, I pretty much want everything to be tabbed, unlike the browser which must not be named. 2)
Its dock icon is a duck that quacks when your buddies log on or off. And what could be more fun than a little quack in your day now and again, in case you're ever in danger of forgetting that life is, indeed, random.
