Synthesized Community Field Notes

12 technical responses curated from 17 original dispatches

Field Note #1 @zephyroth 2008-01-05

I use AMSN : prdownloads.sourc eforge.net/amsn/amsn-0.97-0.dmg

Field Note #2 @Puttabong 2008-01-05

AdiumX for Instant Messanging (Best, Ever!),
Colloquy for IRC.

Field Note #3 @Svein_Jarle 2008-01-05

I prefer aMSN, since I only use the MSN platform. It's a bit slow, but it works great.
For webcam, I use Mercury, but that rarely happens.

Field Note #4 @Raldo 2008-01-05

I hate TCL, so i use Adium for msn (unfortunely not all understand Jabber's philosofy) and iChat for XMPP

Field Note #5 @ShadeZeRO 2008-01-05

DeadAIM on winXP
I use MSN when talking to the GF, I have it modded with A-Chat patch. Removes the Ad's and all types of junk.

iChat on OSX, but looking for mods. Something similar to DeadAIM.

Field Note #6 @braid 2008-01-05

I like audium, but it doesnt support offline messages (msn protocol at least)
msn for mac dont support it too
amsn does so... I started to use it...

and xchat for aqua to irc...
can I use ichat for msn accounts?

Field Note #7 @Raldo 2008-01-05

@ braid: No, you don't. Anyway for Jabber Accounts :sisi:

Field Note #8 @Thopedam 2009-04-10

i got a question to adium... how to activate webcam support?
i think with this support adium is nearly perfect..

Field Note #9 @Taisto 2009-04-11

AdiumX - IM - Best app i`ve ever seen, with the most flexible interface which i really love.
Colloquy - IRC

@Thopedam :AFAIK AdiumX doesnt support webcams and i dont think it will, hmm, but maybe i`ve missed something. Maybe with 3rd party plugins or something...i dont know.

Field Note #10 @Bettarg 2009-04-11

I have used for a time a modified Ichat. NIce , but the ICQ support is… a its a shame

Now i use Adium and Colloquy.

Field Note #11 @LawlessPPC 2009-04-13

with so many colloquy users why's no one ever in the infinite room lol!

Field Note #12 @Taisto 2009-04-13

Simple answer for me : no auto-channel join option and no "minimize to taskbar" function. I hate the fact i have to keep the windows open to stay in chat room
