There are a good few ims for your MacBook but some stand out more than others.
At the moment i am using Adium , it is a brilliant app that can connect to all your
im’s at the same time and even display them all in the same list. It has a beautiful interface
witch is fully customizable. This is a great app over all but it does lack some features, One
of the big disappointments is the lack of WebCam support. so over all this app gets 8/10.
If its WebCams and Advanced (msn plus) features your after you have the options of aMsn and Mercury Messenger . These are also very good apps, aMsn being more user friendly and Mercury having more advanced features. aMsn also supports plug-ins, witch can be good but be careful as some of them may cause aMsn to stop working. With mercury you should be careful with what settings you change as these can cause it to freeze quite a bit witch can be frustrating.
And of corse you can use the default “Microsoft Messenger” witch is simply terrible. it has no advanced features, actually it has no features at all. its ugly, basic and slow, so just don’t use it.
So over all Adium is the best out of the im’s that i use.
Adium - 8 Stars
aMsn - 7 Stars
Mercury - 6 Stars
Microsoft messenger - 2 Stars
