Psi ReviewReinventing the Wheel - Version: 0.13-rc3, 7/10/2009 04:24PM PST

While I applaud efforts by programmers as they come up with new and interesting ideas, I don't particularly feel obligated to do so when there is nothing innovative here--especially in an already crowded field with infinitely better alternatives.

This is one of those cases. Someone already mentioned Adium. I am in no way affiliated with the hard-working folks at Adium and still await their eventual ability to come with video chat capability like iChat or Skype has--but their free application is definitely innovative. They put the entire spectrum of various chat clients ''under one roof'' without advertising or other ''blinky'' overhead. No longer does one have to have all sorts of separate chat clients open cluttering things up and hogging resources.

What I'm saying in a nutshell to hard-working programmers like the one who has brought Psi here: Don't try to reinvent the wheel. How about getting involved with the folks at Adium and add your expertise and ideas there? They have hands-down the best non-Apple free chat client out there. Seriously.

Just a friendly suggestion.

Psi CommentaryDoes it have password login to chat rooms yet? - Version: 0.12-RC2, 4/5/2008 01:31PM PST

Psi was the very first jabber client that I tried. And, it worked just fine until I had to join chat in the "Boardroom" which was protected by a password. Psi did not have the capability to execute the password procedure, so I could not use it. Then, I found Adium which is also freeware and which DOES support passworded login to chat rooms. I have not looked back since. --Steve
