[http://www.jabber.com](http://www.jabber.com) That lets you talk to AIM users and ICQ users. > **[Odigo: Customer experience as it was meant to be](https://www.odigo.com/)** > > Deliver customer experience as it was meant to be. Learn how Odigo CCaaS solutions empower your organization to provide personalised, efficient CX. Same thing, but also has Yahoo. I haven’t been able to use either of them, they won’t barrel through the firewall here at work. Doh… Yahoo is the only thing that works here. I guess that means I should actually work, and not talk to Dopers who are most probably sitting at home with their millions, drinking blended caviar eating Champagne popsicles and watching penguins perform in Penguin Olympic Diving. pat ---

I have to tell you that Odigo is pretty cool! I tried Jabber… UGH! That thing never seemed to work right. But Odigo is simple, powerful and stable. I like! 🙂 Thanks for the tip. ---

While I do appreciate pricciar’s help, I have to say that that Obigo thing COMPLETELY fucked up my ICQ system. Plus, it would not connect to my newly created AIM account. So without that, what was the point of having it? I’m back to just ICQ. Y’all just need to DL that to talk to me live 😉 ---

Did you know he lives way the hell over in _Greenland_?!?! ---
