I use it just to let me know when I have a new gmail mail... I get the handy little popup at the bottom of my screen. Don't use the talk facility as most of my friends are not gmail users.
I think the only advantage it has over competitors is that it is integrated with other G products. Personally I prefer msn messenger.
I would like to try it out.But I prefer also MSN messenger because most of the people I know using it.
you can make phone calls (VoIP kind) with this one or i completely misunderstood the usage of the product??
Im using it through my gMail account only because people keep inviting me. Its really feature poor but its convenient since the gMail tab is always open.
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q1 The two acceptable forms of capitalization are "Gaim" and "gaim" (and not "GAIM").
I have wanted to try it out but most people I know are stictly AIM users, I think if I downloaded it I would only have myself to chat with!
