| Pidgeon (formerly "Gaim") | AOL, IRC, ICQ, MSN, MyspaceIM... | Good Multiclient (you may not get all the features of each network... but if you want one program to say IM (or "PM") you friends on various networks ... then this program is for you also i am not sure if Trillian is for Linux too, but i know this IS, so that's another advantage |
|
| Trillian | AOL, ICQ, MSN, IRC... | This is an old "favorite" that has slid down my list ...then after trying it again (with the new version that can ACTUALLY connect) Features:
|
|
| Digsby | AOL, IRC, ICQ, MSN, MyspaceIM... | This is a new comer that has potential if you ask me, but still lacks in comparison to Pidgen, but as I said its a new comer, so new features and improvements are added all the time |

| AIM | 5.1 |
Good but alot of spam and other junk with it |
| Dead AIM | 3.2 | Plug-in for AIM that adds functionality and removes useless features and settings in AIM |
| ICQ | Another IM Client owned by AOL |

| Cheeta Chat | ? | It is apparently making a comeback, but still falls short of many of the other clients, IMHO |
| Yahoo Messenger | 8.0 | Yahoo's Default Messenger. It is good for some things like webcams, but i find it "bloated" alot of times and i can find better programs for yahoo elsewhere |
| Y Tunnel Pro | Ad Blocker and such for Yahoo Messenger... This programs has alot of new and cool options, but it's big drawback is that its not free... AND it doesn't actually block alot of the "bots"... you just do not see them on your screen . This means many booters will still get by Ytunnel | |
| MyChat! | This is a recent one I found ... to be honest this reminds me
of the last Cheeta Chat I had (from years ago), with LESS
features.... just my opinion though. ... this may be a good
client for those who like messenger and find some others like
yaheh or Yahelite "complicated'

| YahEh | This one surprised me... This is a client by a 16yr programmer, that I just discovered. while not having any amazingly great features, it does have alot of potential (don't know how much its actually updated). Some features that stand out to me are: (June 2008 Note: SEEMS TO BE DEAD ... no references to it anywhere ... recently) |
|
| 326 beta | Even with all the up and coming chat clients, this still is the best... really to many options to list, but some of the biggest are

| Yazak | Haven't tried this one in awhile |
|
| YahFilter | I personally know the author of this program, Crash This is a proxy for Yahelite (and perhaps some other yahoo clients.. I will have to check on that) that provides protection against more booters, and adds functionality to Yahelite. |

| Yazak | Personal reasons have caused me to boycott this client ...not as bad from what I have seen "Firsthand" but ... along the same lines of "Ym!lite" listed below |
| Ym!lite | Personal reason (every time i see him the creator of this client is going from room to room trash talking everyone who doesn't use his client and acting very immature + spamming) has caused me to boycott this client Also RUMORED (I believe it; however, I do not have any proof to give) that he creates alot of the bots that his client "protects against" ... go figure |
| JAM | Although I did try this client once, i can not comment too much about it... truthfully it looked a little "Windows 3.1" like to me... basically like messenger, but its suppose to be better ... I at least rather use Trillian .. |
