• Apple's iChat does not quite quack like the Adium duck just yet. Expanded with Yahoo! chat in the recent Lion release, iChat has difficulty reconnecting with many of its chat services (AOL, Yahoo!, Google and Facebook through Jabber) and fails to reconnect to Facebook's chat. Adium, with its open source code also offers connectivity to Skype's chat capability through a free extension. [Links: Adium]
