@EVILmonkey
Yeah, having twitter in Gtalk makes it easy to update when I’m checking my email. Great integration.

I’ve added Twitter to GTalk which is pretty awesome. When you or anyone else I follow post to Twitter, it pops up on my GTalk desktop client. I can Twitter with my Google Talk app very easily as well.

Thanks for bringing the Linux perspective. I’d have covered more IM clients in-depth, but I wanted to focus on the online applications that allowed folks to IM. Still, I’m not as familiar with Linux as you, so I can’t comment on the worth of Kopete. But I take your word for it.

I use Kopete Instant messenger, another multi-protocol instant messaging client, and it works pretty well for linux.

Greg-
It works really well for what it is. Despite its limitations, it can come in really handy.
