I use multi-tabbed browsers like Firefox and Mozilla. The other problem with using chat clients is productivity. ⌄ Scroll down to continue reading article ⌄ Productivity If you have audio conversations, then it’s not. It’s only worth it you use three or four of the VoIM clients indicated earlier. But if you use it, understand that it’s memory use is not cheap. The problem with Meebo is that it doesn’t do audio and doesn’t support Skype – my primary audio call application. But that’s an expensive solution.Īnother possibility is Meebo, which is a browser-based application that bridges all of the above VoIP/VoIM clients except Skype. So this is the best solution I have short of buying another computer with more RAM – possibly one dedicated to VoIP calling. Because of my warranty, I’d have to take the computer miles away and leave it there for two days. Of course, I could get more RAM, but at present, it’s not an option for me.
This way, I don’t have to run all five clients simultaneously. So far, I tend to have Skype and Google Talk open most often, and the other three clients mentioned above the least often. For someone who is closer to my time zone, and who chats with me more often, I might leave their preferred client, such as Skype, open longer each day. So for example, if I’m expecting a chat with someone twelve zones away, I’ll have a 3-4 hour window where I’ll fire up the software they prefer to use, say Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. To alleviate some of the RAM memory usage, I rotate between soft clients based on the time of day and the time zones of the people I talk to daily. It’s also difficult to work in your web browser and a text chat client at the same time, unless you have a giant screen. That not only gets annoying, it also uses up loads of computer RAM, leaving little memory for other applications. I use all of Google Talk, Skype, AIM Pro, Yahoo Messenger, and Live/MSN Messenger nearly every day. If you’re like me you’re probably using multiple VoIP/ VoIM (Voice over Internet Protocol/ Voice over Instant Messenger) software clients to communicate with friends, family and business clients.
