Hi all,
Due to popular demand at our department (and the boss pressing me on
it...)
I've taken up testing out this new-fangled thing called Instant Messaging
(IM).
First I looked at was MSN Messenger v7.5, which looks ok, but it's
chockfull
of ads and other irritating stuff. Then found on Wikipedia there's a Live
Messenger v8beta (haven't tried it yet). Yet another I've found and that
looks
interesting is Gaim, capable of several protocols, including Jabber which
apparentely supports group conferences, something Messenger does not
AFAIK.
I'm a bit confused though about MS Messenger. I don't quite see the
difference
between them. Anybody care to explain this to me? Or point me to good
place
for this.
Otherwise, anything or any gotchas' I should be aware of when dealing with
IM
(except for viruses and stuff)?
TIA.
BW,
Sorin
