Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is an all-in-one instant messaging client that is just similar to AIM. At the same time, it lets its users use AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, IRC, Jabber, Zephyr and Gadu-Gadu, and the best part is that users can use all of them at once! Contrary to what people believe, the software works on its own and is not at all affiliated with AOL, Yahoo, or MSN

Here are its features:

• The software supports a diverse range of operating systems, such as Windows as well as many Unix-like systems such as Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and AmigaOS (if you have the X11 engine) and more!
• The software is extremely famous for it’s user friendly features and the fact that it supports multiple instant messaging protocols makes it more demanding in the world of Internet.
• The software comes up with a built-in support for NSS, that offers client-to-server message encryption for protocols that support it. A lot of IM clients do not support this feature at all. So that is another reason for downloading this software.

Some other features are:

1. It is extendable through plugins.
2. Includes”Off-the-Record Messaging”.
3. Pidgin encryption.
4. Providing end-to-end message encryption.
   • Includes tabbed conversations.
   • Contact list.
   • File transfer on supported protocols.
   • Conversation and chat loggin.
   • And more!
