meebo, the web messenger that lets you access IM from absolutely anywhere. meebo supports msn, yahoo, aol/aim, google talk (gtalk), jabber and icq.

Eh...I'd rather not give out my AIM screen name/password to any website, regardless of how trustworthy they are. Shit happens, I'd rather not take chances.

Site adviser says its all green.

I've used it once or twice nothings has happened yet, but it is best to not take chances. ;p

It doesn't even use a secure login page (i.e. https:).

Well, Olmec, I have been using for about a month and no problems. Plus I don't have anything that anyone would want except for lots of porn sites ect. ect. Wait... OH NOES!!! MYSPACES!!!!!!

*runs to save myspace*

i would never reveal passwords to anything of mine unless its a gaming account and i am not playing it anymore.

https://www.meebo.com

That's how I'd get there at school (school firewall doesn't block secure sites).

I've been using it for over a year. I'd trust it with my life. I use it because:
1. It keeps all of my IM windows in an IE tab
2. It allows me to log into a single "application" to access all of my IMs
3. I don't have to install software, which tends to la--l--g--lag my computer and run at startup/in the background

And if you don't like having your chats in an IE window, you can pop them out into independent windows.

I'd go with it. I've shown it to a million people.

One word:



Trillian. :\

My friend has to use this, her computer is really old or something, can't even run AIM. She's always on and it works just fine for her, so I'd say it's good.

These are reasons to trust this website with your life? Odd...

i used to use trillian, but it kinda sucks...this thing has all green, meebo is a good site...and it covers more messengers than trillian..

I've used this for quite a while, but only ever when I'm on a computer without AIM. It's meh.

Trillian supports:
-AIM
-ICQ
-IRC
-Jabber
-MSN
-Yahoo Mesenger
-Skype
-IMVU
-POP3 and IMAP E-mail Forwarding
-Winamp Integration
-RSS and Bookmark Integration
-Xfire Implementation
-IM Logging

Plus plugin support and no ads. Overall, Trillian is better and doesn't really suck at all.

EDIT: The only thing that Trillian doesn't support that meebo.com does is Gtalk or whatever. Besides Gtalk, Trillian offers far more than meebo.

One word: Pidgin.

I used to use Trillian, but I started using Pidgin, and now, I'm not going back. Its a pretty good IM bundler.

Win. Tis what I'm on now.

Why it's better than Trillian and such:
NO INSTALL/NO SOFTWARE/NO CONSUMED HDD SPACE
I'm all for web apps. I keep all important data on a server in my basement, so I have nothing to lose on my laptop. The less I have to install and the less I have to f*ck with my Windows registry, the better.

Trillian does support that.

Instant messaging is something I do not want in my browser. I want it to be an application.
Furthermore, Trillian's UI is the best I've seen, and it is the sole reason for my continuous use of it, despite file transfer problems with some people.

Sorry, didn't know that < 5mb was such a massive strain on your computer. Clearly that makes it FAR superior.

Pidgin > All. Kinda like Trillian. But yeah, I agree with Tural here...I close my browser a lot, sometimes mistakenly, and I'd rather have a separate app for chatting, that I won't inadvertently close.
