Bryan Denny 2009-11-20T21:11:25Z 2009-11-24T05:42:09Z <p>What are some recommended IM apps? Preferably one that supports multiple IM networks. Specifically, I would love to be on both AIM and Facebook chat at the same time. Any suggestions?</p> http://www.forceclose.com/questions/622/good-multi-im-app/623#623 Answer by Chuck for Good (multi) IM app? Chuck 2009-11-20T21:38:28Z 2009-11-20T21:38:28Z <p>I've heard good things about both <a href="http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-ebuddy-android-jzAp.aspx" rel="nofollow">eBuddy</a> and <a href="http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-meebo-BEn.aspx" rel="nofollow">Meebo</a>. Both support both AIM and Facebook, among others. And both are free!</p> http://www.forceclose.com/questions/622/good-multi-im-app/625#625 Answer by Chahk for Good (multi) IM app? Chahk 2009-11-21T01:07:24Z 2009-11-21T01:07:24Z <p>I've used both Meebo and eBuddy, and eBuddy is by far the most stable and feature-rich of the two. Granted, I haven' gone back to Meebo since they were at around version 15 - so you might want to check if they resolved the issue with constant disconnects.</p> <p>Of course if Trillian would get off the iPhone bandwagon and port their app to Android, they'd beat any of those other apps. But I'm biased there :)</p> http://www.forceclose.com/questions/622/good-multi-im-app/636#636 Answer by HS for Good (multi) IM app? HS 2009-11-22T03:28:26Z 2009-11-22T03:28:26Z <p>Agreed. Meebo is great on a PC but on Android OS it forcecloses all the time for me. </p> <p>eBuddy is definitely better since it hasn't forceclosed on me yet BUT i notice that it happens to add additional buddies that I have never formally approved. other than that, eBuddy is a good app until Meebo gets its act together.</p> http://www.forceclose.com/questions/622/good-multi-im-app/680#680 Answer by Lemon for Good (multi) IM app?
