IM used to be down as Miranda
ICQ.
Miranda
IM is a multi protocol instant
messenger client. It works with as many protocols as their plug-in
designers allow including ICQ,
AIM,
MSN,
Jabber, IRC,
Yahoo! and
more.
The reason this program is popular is its size. The download is less
than a megabyte and can be saved to a floppy disk or other small storage
device. The program is small in file size and small in resource usage as
well, while still providing all the basic features. Not to mention, it
takes up the tiniest bit of space on the desktop.
A version without an installer is provided so you can run it from a
storage device and possibly run it on systems where you do not have the
permission to install anything.
Miranda IM is customizable. It
can be skinned, including changes the text, icons, background, sounds and
anything else to make it into your very own custom Instant Messenger. Many
other messengers only let you change the sounds, background and text
colors.
Miranda IM is yet another open
source Messenger, which means you can expect hundreds more plug-ins created
for it for any purpose. I would consider Miranda
IM the small on the go messenger,
but you can make this as permanent as you wish, and mold it into your very
own.
