Q.
What the hell do those colored icons next to usernames mean?
A. The blue icon is AIM, green is ICQ, red is MSN, orange is Yahoo.
As of right now, Everybuddy has support for AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! chat
programs. It also has file transfer between other Everybuddy users, and
planned support for file transfer to other users.

Subject: [expert] GAIM TiK etc.
Last night, I was able to connect to AIM via Gaim without a problem,
even held a conversation or two. This morning, I get a "no
configuration" error which makes no sense. So, I try the old TiK
client, officially released by AOL a while back. No joy there either,
it connects and then disconnects a few seconds later.
The Java client works, but it's Java, c'mon, let me use AIM to talk to
my idiot friends who don't use ICQ.
Does anyone know if AOL has been playing with their servers again?
