U3 + Pidgin = Cracking good mobile IM solution
I've been getting a lot of enjoyment out of my Cruzer U3 portable USB key, one of which is running apps from the key itself instead of the local machine.
One of those apps is the excellent IM client, pidgin. Pidgin supports all the usual protocol's out of the box (AIM, MSN, Gtalk/Jabber, ICQ, Yahoo, etc), as well as a few non standard ones as well (MySpaceIM, Groupwise, and IRC). The only obvious miss was Facebook chat support.
Thankfully however, pidgin has an excellent plugin architecture, and someone has written a plugin to add Facebook support.
