Instant Messaging
I still cant get over how amny ways of contacting me there are now.
I worked it out, I have 6 differant email accounts, and a whole bunch of Instant messaging accounts.
Why aren’t more instant messengers interoperable? I know that the Jabber and XMPP stuff is trying to reach a consensus, and it looks like a lot of VOIP people are going to us ehte XMPP extensions, but getting older IM clients to change? I have a yahoo IM, MSN Messenger IM, IRQ IM, Jabber IM and Google Talk IM. In fact I have two MSN accounts and never sign into one, because I changed from my sirperc@yahoo.com account to my current mib@mibgames.co.uk account when I purchased the mibgames domain name.
Ah well, At least on Linux, I can install Kopete and I can have all of the contact lists for all of these and IRC in the same window.
