But remember, if you have a question about anything Mac, Mac-related, or even something about other tech like TiVo, Blackberry or even Windows, send it to me, The MACist, at: themacist at gmail dot com.Īll logos, product names, etc. If I don't think that's going to be necessary, then I just use Adium by itself. Similar to YouTube, this platform allowed video clips to be hosted on Google servers and embedded on to other websites. So, in the end, what I usually end up doing is having both Adium and iChat open if I know I'm going to need to do some video chatting. Google Video was a free video hosting service launched by the multinational technology company Google on January 25, 2005.
If you want to Video Chat, for example, you will have to use something else such as Apple's iChat or even Skype to do that. Unfortunately, as useful and feature-rich as it is, Adium doesn't do everything. Its a great way to make sure people can find you and as a benefit uses far fewer system resources than having four (or more) seperate programs open at the same time. So, by using Adium I can be signed in to all of the services at the same time and can respond to IM conversations from buddies using AIM, Yahoo, MSN or whatever they happen to be using. For example, I have IM accounts with all the most popuar systems because you never know who a friend or client might be using. Oh, and its also completely free.Īdium allows you to include accounts from all the popular systems and chat with your buddies across those systems. What is this miraculous program? It's called Adium and its pretty cool.
Instead, choose a program that allows you to use an IM account from pretty much any of the popular IM systems including AIM, Yahoo, MSN and GTalk.
ADIUM GOOGLE VIDEO SOFTWARE
Of course, you could just use the software available for each of these IM systems as each offers a Mac version.īut really, why bother with that? That's just too much trouble. If you are a user of Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, Jabber and/or AIM (or any combo of those), you will need a program that allows you to use some, or all, of these services to IM with your buddies on whatever system they happen to be on.
