Switch: IM

iChat is a great app. But unless all your friends are willing to switch to AIM your going to need some other clients. Yahoo Messenger for the Mac is crap. I suggest a multi network client. There are 4 or 5 floating around but Adium X is the coolest. First thing switch the alert sounds. Those duck quacks drove me nuts.

I was just telling a fellow Mac user the same thing. He was talking to me in Yahoo and I mentioned to him that there was something far better. AdiumX has changed the way I chat. I love how it logs the conversations too. Being able to go back and see what you talked about with someone previously is worth the download alone.

Just yesterday I started downloading some of the Apple Scripts that allow you to type cool things in the text field and get interesting results on the other end of the conversation. If you haven't tried them out, you must get a couple, you'll love them.
