(no subject)

 So does anyone know of a Chrome app that is somewhat like Meebo? In other words, one thing I can use to sign on with AIM and GChat? Trying to make myself more available to folks but trying to avoid signing into AOL.

ETA: And I'm giving Trillian a shot, though it only seems to be able to log into AIM and gets bounced every time I try to link my GChat ID. >:/

More Briareus thoughts as I read the manga at lunch

I'm not sure if using the manga as the primary source of canon will work. I love the manga as there is some really good exploration of what it takes to make a utopian society and about human nature, but Briareus isn't around for those talks. Plus, he would be bored with them and so I wouldn't be able to play with it.

He's still new enough that I think I will finish the manga before I have committed to anything, but it's looking like I will be doing a modified versions of the three movies which have been released in the past ten years.

OK, the rabbit hole of web based, multiple provider IM clients is driving me nuts. Trillian and IM+ both are good, but Google doesn't want to play with them. Which defeats the purpose of this exercise for me as I want to be able to see both providers in the same place. Yet all the support for getting Google to play with the IM Cliets is out of date, like years out of date, and since Google switched from Talk to Hangouts this year (and from an open chat to a more secure one), none of what I am finding is working.

However, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel...almost. Playing on a hunch, I decided to see if Google Hangouts would play with AIM; since Google bought out Meebo, I figured it was worth a shot. Online searching seems to support this, but with the switch to Hangouts, the AIM contact importer that AOL so thoughtfully created doesn't seem to work. Supposedly though, you can manually add AIM contacts to your Google Hangouts and thus chat.

So, anyone with an AIM account mind playing guinea pig with me? Just want to try to add you and send a message.
