Do you know Pidgin (also known as its former incarnation, Gaim)? Pidgin isn’t a funny speech impediment. Nor is it a language forged through two separate languages out of happenstance. But, it does get its name from the latter. Pidgin, in this instance, is a web creation borne from the needs of chat users who have too many friends on too many chat platforms to keep track of. Simply put, Pidgin is a multi-platform, multiple language, cross platform, instant messaging client that is compatible with AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, Zephyr, IRC and Gadu-Gadu. It features tabbed conversations and buddy lists. Now there’s FunPidgin. Borne as a response to Pidgin’s automatic resizing feature, FunPidgin does all that Pidgin can do, but with manual resizing. You can also turn off persistent window placement. Its releases will correspond with Pidgin’s so you won’t miss out on a thing. FunPidgin and its sister Pidgin work with Windows, Linux, and BSD.
