According to Digg, the client is from GTV. I’ve been using iChat to connect to a EU Jabber server that bridges MSN Yahoo AOL ICQ and a few other protocols. Works but kludgy. Friday, I installed Adium, which connects to all of these and more and is totally skinnable and customizable. IChat has been removed from my Dock for good, unless I’m videoconferencing with someone, which won’t be necessary as soon as Skype has video for the Mac. I’m flummoxed why Myspace would try to brand it’s own IM, granted I’m not sure if it will talk to other networks like AOL Yahoo and MSN, we’ll see.
