This is my playground. Here you will find grass, swings, slides, aunties sitting and talking on benches, old people walking, young people jogging, pesky little kids playing cricket and of course Me.
Return to your work now, or be trapped here forever.

RIP Google Talk
I don't know how old is this, or maybe its totally new, but the two giants: Yahoo! and MSN have tied up their IM networks together to whip ass. And that ass belongs to Google. I smell a dirty battle ... yummy :)
I use Gaim, can't be bothered with opening more than one messenger.
Gaim's UI sucks though. Of course MSN and Yahoo both suck a lot more. Google Talk's interface rocks. If most of my friends gave up on MSN/Yahoo, I'd never sign-in to those services again. No chance of that happening though.
Why don't you like Gaim's UI ? It is the only IM I know which has a tabbed interface. It may not have all the "jing-bang" which Y! or MSN provides, but it is clean enough. I myself quite get annoyed with all those audibles jumping out of nowhere.
