I honestly can't stand the fact that there are multiple IM clients out there, for both Win and OS X, yet none of them fulfill every need we have in just one of them alone, on a cross platform basis.
Yahoo Messenger. Who really uses it anymore ? Most people, outside of the U.S. use MSN Messenger, and outside of that, Skype, I believe. Mac People use iChat or Adium. I use Adium mostly, unless someone wants to video chat, which in that case, it's either iChat or Skype.
But why can't there just be one solid IM service which caters to both sides of the fence, and which everybody in the world actually uses? IMO, that would be Skype, but the Skype client stinks, and Fring I've found, is no better. Neither is Nimbuzz right now, for that matter. I used Nimbuzz in Europe, and it seemed fairly good, but back here in the states, it's crapville.
I'd give Yahoo a shot, but then I'd have to tell my iPhone toting friends to download it. I'd also have to tell friends and family to get the client for their PC's yada yada etc.. Sure, it wouldn't be the end of the world in MY opinion, but you know how some people are: "Oh no... I have everything the way I want it, and don't want to have to learn to use another program etc.. "
And did someone say before that this won't work with Yahoo clients on OS X? Because I know that video does work with Yahoo messenger on OS X in general.
