GOIM - Gamers Own Instant Messenger

GOIM (Gamers Own Instant Messenger) is based on the open source instant messaging protocol Jabber and therefore inherits all of it's features.

But one of the most important features of Jabber is that it supports a system called gateways which makes it possible to communicate with people on other IM Services (like ICQ,AIM,MSN,Yahoo,etc.) transparently to the user and client. You only need to register with a gateway like icq.myjabber.net with your ICQ number and password and all your contacts will be important into your jabber contact list (roster).
