Avoid this app. Their homepage is also a mess of terrible ads.

Also, it doesn’t have any ads like the other free ones. My only complain…that you have to sign-on after an hour of inactivity.

I’m waiting for Trillian to release a newer version since I’m much more familiar with it and I love it’s features, but it needs some major polishing up…

In the meanwhile, eBuddy will solve MOST of your social IM problems for free and without dumb ads that block your incoming msgs.

Nice review guys.
