With the demise of AIM, and not being on any social media sites, what's 
available for Instant messaging apps these days?  Basically so I can send the 
boss Hyperlinks without having to do everything through email 
while we're on an intercom call.It looks like Trillian.im offers a 
service that is ad free for $2/user/mo  But I thought I saw that there was a 
$10 minimum somewhere.

Yeah it doesn't make any sense to me either.

To each their own though.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: IM Services

Not to mention it integrates with anything and has an easy to use API. It's
trivial to hack together some quick code to pull in alerts from various
tools, use it to monitor messages to your businesses social media accounts
and notifications, etc.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.

I don't like that if you are disconnected when you send a message that it
won't keep retrying. Google Hangouts is good about that, but sucks terribly
for anything else.

We use the shit out of trillian connected to our openfire server. Spark
with openfire works well but you can only be logged into your account from
one device at a time, hence trillian. I bought a permanent license for my
client for like 60 bucks, was worth it plus it retains images. You dont
