Everyone should be using Pidgin IM.

If you don’t know already, Pidgin is the new GAIM. AOL freaked out about the old GAIM name so they decided to cut their losses and go for a whole new name/look….and I must say it’s working wonders.
The first public beta of Pidgin came out today and it’s beautiful. Everything just looks 100x better with this iconset and as always the program is running perfectly.
The transition between the programs went smoothly. Even though many of the folders and files changed, all of my settings went over with the install.
Here are a few real quick shots while I explore. The second is tiny, but give it a click for full size. I’ll be sure to note some changes when I find them:
