As I said in my post Pidgin has LOTS of features and that is probably the "feature" that makes it stand out from other IM programs the most. No other IM has the extensive feature set that Pidgin does... 16 different protocols for instance, and again, the *only* chat client that offers *both* Lotus Sametime and Novell Groupwise... and that's "out of the box". I haven't even started on plugins yet ;) Integration? Again, I'm not sure what you mean here. I can exchange messages with *any* of my contacts from just about *any* other "mainstream" IM program... AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, etc. That is what is meant by "protocols" (16 of them!) Give it a try and see what YOU think. @Erin — I’m not sure what you mean?
