I used to us Google talk but here lately my IT friends have kill kill killed it. Is there some underground chat client that i can't find out there. the newest cutting edge fresh off the press messenger program that someone can suggest. I can't use ICQ, Aim, MSN, Google Talk, or IRC. So other than that lets hear it! thanks.

But what system or email exactly do you want to run it on? You know chat systems are based on protocols, such as jabber (used by google talk), ICQ, MSN, Yahoo. So unless you actually state which on of those protocols you want to use, its is kind of hard to know what you may want. Another thing is knowing which one is also commonly used by the people you want to communicate with, since you cannot communicate with different protocols.

PS.

Some chat softwares such as trillian do support multiprotocols ( it can be used for google talk, msn, ICQ, yahoo and others).

well i am not sure how they are doing it as of now but i can't log in to my google talk and the ICQ MSN and Yahoo haven't worked in a really long time. The IT department got complaints from some of ppl to take down the chat clients but it was my main communication back home. They haven't given us orders to stop using them they just want us to find a more secure one i guess.
it doesn't matter what protocol it uses just as long as it works on XP it will be fine.

Well, you could use the web version of msn messenger, http://webmessenger.msn.com

Or you can use this for web chat application for MSN, google talk, yahoo, IRC..

http://www.meebo.com -- I would advice this, since it is much faster

Meebo has real good support. It works surprisingly fast. You can even create your own login there so that you don't have to enter each of the account names and passwords. You can play games with other Meebo users and there are hundreds of chat rooms. You can also change the color of the windows. Pretty nice stuff, considering it runs in your browser.

I don't know any chat software. For me Google talk is the best. I've been using it for the past month; so far I am not seeing any downfall from it.


This is the first time I ever heard of Meebo. What can it do that a google talk can’t?
