eBuddy

Multiple account instant messaging

eBuddy lets you connect to most popular messaging networks, so you can chat wherever you are.

This free chat app is supported by ads, but fortunately they are really not intrusive, and you’ll hardly notice them at all. Like any messaging client you need an account, which means first creating an eBuddy account before adding other web messengers.

eBuddy supports lots of networks – MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, Google Talk, Facebook, ICQ, MySpace and Hyves. Adding them to the app is as simple as entering your details, and you’ll be automatically signed in. All your account contacts will be listed alphabetically, in online and offline groups. This is fine, but if you’re signed into lots of services it can get pretty busy!

eBuddy is very user friendly, and you’ll have no problems opening chats with your friends. Each service varies slightly, but in general, chats follow the ‘bubble’ design seen in the iPhone’s SMS app. It works in portrait or landscape, great for people who like the larger keyboard.

eBuddy is a functional and attractive messaging client, offering a good range of networks in an easy to use package.
