Useful Stuff: Adium

Useful Stuff: Adium

This is my first post (hopefully others will come) where I will talk about my most used pieces of software for Mac OS X. Little applications that make my life easier or more comfortable, or stuff that has amazed me somehow. Sometimes they will be shareware, sometimes freeware.

Today I'll talk about Adium.

Adium is a free and open source instant messaging application for Mac OS X. There have always been many IM (instant messaging) protocols, like ICQ, AIM, MSN, Jabber, etc... With Adium, you don't need an application to connect to each service any more. You can connect to all the accounts you want simultaneously. That means you have a single contact list, that shows you all your online buddies, no matter what IM protocol they use.

What I really love about adium, is its level of customization. You can configure virtually everything; the looks of it, its behavior, the sounds it produces, etc. You can customize it on your own, or you can get other people's favorite customizations, as it has a great community that has posted hundreds of "xtras" to build Adium after your taste.

It even has support for Growl. And it is, of course Universal Binary; so it will work fine with PPC and Intel macs. Adium, with its unbeatable price, is a must have.
