Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of instant messaging is the sheer number of different services and clients that are available. While there has been a degree of convergence over the years, there is still a high chance that if you want to be able to communicate with all of your friends, family and colleague through instant messaging, you\u2019re going to need to have a few clients installed. This might not be the case if you try out Miranda NG<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n Out of the box there is support for a fairly impressive range of chat protocols — IM, GG, ICQ, IRC, Jabber, MSN and Yahoo — but this lit can be greatly expanded through the use of plugins. Amongst others, it is possible to add support for Facebook chat, Twitter, Skype and XFire.<\/p>\n Available in 32- and 64-bit varieties, Miranda NG is a portable app that can be run from a USB drive. Development may have stalled with the apps predecessor Miranda IM, but this new branch is being constantly updated.<\/p>\n But it is not just protocols that can be added through plugins — there are a raft of other features that can be bolted on. Just as with any IM tool worth its salt, there are also a number of skins available that enable you to personalize the look of the app.<\/p>\n You can find out more and download a free copy of the chant client by paying a visit to the Miranda NG review page<\/a> — there are 32-<\/a> and 64-bit<\/a> versions available.<\/p>\n Photo credit:<\/strong> A1Stock<\/a>\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/p>\n Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of instant messaging is the sheer number of different services and clients that are available.
