Best Alternative to Mac messenger

[pawel]

Hi guys,

Does anyone have some good alternative suggestions for MAC's version of Microsoft Messenger? Im using the official one but it's a little featureless to say the least.

I would prefer a UB version and something that might support webcam too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

adium is what i use. it's still not as featured as pc messenger, but it's a good solid msn client, and has some nice features that pc msn still doesn't have

I use Amsn, has most of the features of MSN live on PC side, minus games.

Are any of them able to use the built in web cam on an imac ?

Amsn is able to use my built in Isight on my MBP

I use Adium since it uses libGaim (yes, from the Gaim in Windowsand Linux/Unix) and also supports various protocols other than just MSN. But if you need MSN only with the features that are available in MSN Messenger, then I guess you could use aMSN as was mentioned earlier.

To get on with the usual nitpicking about MAC/Mac on here recently:

"Mac" is short for "Macintosh", the computer.
"MAC", however, is short for "Media Access Control" and is used for network adaptors.
