yahoo instant messenger
 

I'm 'lumberjimatwork'.

ooops, I didn't think i had posted that. Got interrupted.

anyway.....the chat thing is kinda cool, especially when the cellar is slow. but the software is kinda lame. Yahoo IM has conferencing that would work the same way, if everyone was using it, and knew each other's handles.

Does anyone know if there is a program that interfaces all of the different kinds of IM programs....like yahoo, and aol and such? we could use that instead.....

use this thread to set chat times or let people know you're bored and want to chat.......

Trillion will talk to msn, aol, yahoo etc etc

I added ya LJ

i found IM2.....

Trillian for Windows users - GAIM for Linux

Kellie

dark_gardyn on Yahoo
KellieWork2 on AIM :)

Adium for MacOS X

ok, i tried IM2 and it sucks. no conferencing, no support. uninstalling

trillian is more better

Ali - wtf dont I have you on yahoo??

I don't seem to be having any luck signing into Yahoo Messenger. I don't use yahoo usually so I've set up a username for messenger and it just sits there saying, "signing in..."

If someone could send me a message to see if I'm accessible from the outside I'd appreciate it - working_sundae.

Also, I assume once I'm in I can set up a friends group, like ICQ and MSN? I don't want to have 14 year olds sending me "hehe hows u lol" messages all day.

SG, I believe you can tell it to only let through messages from people on your contact list.

I'm in the process of deleting it from my desktop :(

Every IM I have installed tells me it is currently unavailable. I just don't have the patience to spare for this - it's currently being used up not screaming at a colleague.

Is it possible there's a blocker on your computer? I know the stuff we have on the rugrats' computer lets us lock down the IM softwares.

It is possible I suppose. MSN was still working on my PC when I moved here (March last year) but it was increasingly unreliable so I stop using it. IT may have put something in, in the mean time - I can't see there's much of a case for IMs being needed for work purposes here....

....must remember never to chat to SG on messenger :o

I don't normally run Trillian, but yesterday I added DucksNuts' Yahoo ID to my Trillian Cellar group.

It's still pretty rare to find anyone online on the few occasions I check.

ohhh so you are one of the ones that I have no clue who they are?

ladyesable or g23lady on yahoo
glockwolf on AIM

I just got yahoo IM but not sure what to do with it now! :)

my username is francesca470

newbrianrem2 on YIM

I refuse to use AIM on principle, ditto for ICQ and others

I'm rarely on line anyway. Chatting and working don't mix in my line of work.

I'm sad, I remember when ICQ (I even had a 4-digit id...) was the IM client of the discerning user.

Anyone else remember the irc-cum-gamematchmaker service called Kali? Before it was updated to Kali 95?

Oh, surely all you need is a nice heads-up display and Dragon Dictate or something like that! :driving:

Well you're on there now ducky!

:rotflol: :lol2: :thumb2:

labratleah on Yahoo.

So I'm a little slow. Sue me.

oflessergods on yahoo. I use pidgin to run my yahoo and AIM, I don't know if it has conferencing or not, though.

Does anyone still use yahoo? mine is casedilla77.

They will now ;)

I'll do it tomorrow!

Well you guys are lucky I never use those services. I am bored and Unemployed. :)

I don't have those services just because I like to hear a persons voice. To actually meet people and to be close enough to invite someone over for dinner of visa versa if I want to.

so WTF are you here for? ;)

To avoid the heavy breathing.

lol

...that and one handed typers.

@ lab....for a little wind down time after work. Or to replace the daily paper while drinking my morning coffee. Like now. I'ts Slightly more interactive than the morning paper. :coffee: Good morning btw.
