Can anyone recommend a cool Jabber console client? #cabber & #freetalk seem...outdated?! !bash !linux !gnulinux !gnu !zsh !foss !opensource
-
@jabz I use bitlbee + irc client of choice (erc in my case)
-
@jabz you can use Finch is based in libpurple of the Pidgin Project
-
@jabz mcabber
-
@jabz Finch is pretty good. It's basically like Pidgin, but it runs in the console.
-
@jabz finch
-
@jabz If you're an !Emacs guy, http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net is one of the few addons that I find easy to install and handle.
-
@jabz Tyrs :)
-
@thistleweb that comment i would put in the category #brave

@eightyeight It is indeed very nice; works better than most people might think
-
@thistleweb I don't think I need to explain why I am not in agreement with this comment (assuming it's not meant in jest).
-
@binyamin no good? mcabber works great
-
@thistleweb Dunno. I wouldn't call !identicurse outdated. Probably has the most complete Identica support of any app I've tried, cc @jabz
-
@eightyeight The main downfall I experienced with that is unless you have a good terminal non-latin scripts won't render properly (esp. rtl)
-
@jankusanagi I'll have to try it
-
@jabz Some ppl like ekg2 → http://www.ekg2.org/
-
@silner I think I will try finch, irssi with XMPP plugin and poezio. They look promising. Thanks everybody for your quick reply.
-
@psquid on that note I'm going to give #identicurse go. I've not even installed yet and I already approve.
-
@jabz mcabber ?
-
@thistleweb I'm simply speechless.
-
@eightyeight Sounds like worth a try, too.
-
@jabz: Thanks; finch & poezio R new to me. Might look @ 'em myself. I'm not a cli natural, but some apps are easy enough for me to manage :)
-
@jabz have you tried pidgin, kopete or empathy? They all support Jabber protocol.
-
@jabz Hi jabz, check out the !weechat jabber plugin - http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/jabber.py.html
