If you are a Gmail user and have used the built-in Gtalk client of Gmail, you should have an understanding of the online IM software and may like it very much, the following describes several online IM software for your reference.
1. Meebo-Support for aim, ICQ, and Yahoo! Messenger, jabber, Gtalk, and MSN im platforms. Provides a Chinese interface, which is fast. After registration, you can add multiple IM accounts of different types at the same time, supporting IE and Firefox. In addition, if you are using flock, you can use a plug-in to combine Meebo with flock (see here) for more convenient use.
2. The IM platform provided by mabber is similar to Meebo. It also supports aim, ICQ, and Yahoo! Messenger, jabber, Gtalk, and MSN. Mabber does not have a Chinese interface yet, and the speed is also relatively slow. It must be registered with an account before it can be used. Unlike Meebo, mabber provides an independent im logon port at the front-end. It also supports IE and Firefox, and is still in beta stage.
3. ebuddy-currently, only the MSN, Yahoo, and aim im platforms are provided, and it does not need to be registered. Each im logon port is directly provided at the front-end, it features a user interface similar to the IM software, which is easy to operate and supports IE and Firefox. Another feature is that it also provides a WAP logon interface, that is, you can log on to the IM platform through your mobile phone, so that you can communicate with netizens wherever you go.
4. Aim express-this is an independent online client provided by aim, that is, it only supports Instant Messaging Software of aim.
5. MSN Web Messenger-similar to aim Express, an independent MSN online client provided by Microsoft.
6. ICQ2GO-ICQ companies provide independent ICQ online client, using Java technology.
7. WeChat chat-a web-based Jabber Client. It is actually an open-source software. You can download it and install it on your own server to provide the online im Application Service. Of course, it also provides an online demo. You can try it out.
8. koolim-the latest one, similar to Meebo, provides aim, ICQ, and Yahoo! Im platforms such as messenger, jabber, Gtalk, and MSN. you can log on with multiple accounts at the front-end. You can also register an account and integrate multiple IM accounts. Supports IE and Firefox. (Via web2.0fan.net)
9. imhaha-is also an online IM service very similar to Meebo, but the key lies in its support of QQ. For details, see QQ of park17 and web-based.
In general, Meebo, mabber, and ebuddy are sufficient for some of our commonly used IM software. Among these three, I personally think Meebo is relatively better, meebo is recommended.
