IM in many languages

One of the frustrating computer problems has been incompatible instant messaging programs. Program developers apparently all speak different languages.

In recent years, developers have begun to build in compatibililty. But they still have a long way to go. Just ask your kids. They have to find out what everyone else is using. Or, they need multiple programs.

They might want to try Pidgin. This IM program can communicate with nearly a dozen networks. And it can run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD.

Pidgin will support most features of the various networks. It also has unique features of its own.

Cost: Free
System: Windows XP, Vista and 7, Mac OS X
