IBM Lotus Sametime
IBM Lotus Sametime is an application for collaboration with instant messaging and web conferencing. This Software provides enterprise instant messaging functionality, presence information, and web conferencing. It offers strong support for communications and standard protocols.

Lotus Sametime client software is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. The Lotus Sametime is a domino server running on Windows, IBM AIX, i5/OS, Linux and Solaris.

With Lotus Sametime 7.5.x, IBM has introduced chat archiving. This was one area where Sametime was found lacking in the previous versions. This last release is based on the Eclipse platform ; it helps developers to become familiar with this open source framework.

One of the new features is Lotus Sametime Gateway which adds support for communication with users of AOL, Yahoo and Google Talk. Not Microsoft because this company sells the connection to its 'public' network MSN Messager.

MSN Messager
According to a recent study by ComScore Networks, MSN Messenger has 61 percent of worldwide instant messaging (IM) market share. Europe has more people (82 million ) using IM than the United States (69 million). In the United States, MSN Messenger usage is about even with AOL Instant Messenger usage while Yahoo's IM client only trails by a few notches. 14 percent of all instant messengers use Skype, but that only amounts to 3 percent of IM users in the United States.

Pidgin
Pidgin was originally known as GTK+ AOL Instant Messenger. In response to pressure from AOL, the program was renamed to the acronymous-but-lowercase Gaim. On April 6, 2007, Gaim became Pidgin, libgaim became libpurple, and gaim-text became finch. The name Pidgin was chosen in reference to the term "pidgin", which describes communication between people who do not share a common language.

Formerly named Gaim, Pidgin is a multi-platform instant messaging client that supports many commonly used instant messaging protocols. Pidgin is free software available under the GNU General Public License.
