Amici Contatti Messenger - www.piazzetta-amici.it

This program is the most reliable integrated messenger around. Trillian is eye candy with nothing under the hood, who knows what's going on with Odigo's GUI and the others don't "talk" to each other. Imici rocks.

This program makes open standards in IM irrelevant for the moment. I can send and receive messages from friends and co-workers using MSN, Yahoo!, AOL and ICQ through one program. The enter key didn't work for the buttons in the wizard, but do work for the actual messaging windows. It's easier to use than Odigo but doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet. They seem to be concentrating on interoperability first, then advanced features. It's a small file to download and installation takes about 30 seconds.
