Description
There is not Yahoo messenger and Gtalk in linux. So I can not use linux in our browsing center.
It would be better if they both available for linux. I heard some projects are going.
But, we need them as soon as possible.

Use Pidgin to connect to Yahoo Messenger. I believe they also support Google Talk, but I'm not sure.

It does. If you want native Linux clients for these applications, contact Google and Yahoo.

Yes Pidgin supports GoogleTalk as well as another dozen of protocols. So there is indeed Ubuntu Linux support for both protocols.

Pidgin is not only better, but more in the spirit of Ubuntu.

Oh please. Perhaps the person who posted this rotten idea never used Pidgin before?

If you are using more than one IM (as you apparently are doing ) you should try Pidgin as having one program is easier than having two. I myself use it for Gtalk, MSN and ICQ at the same time with a total of 5-6 accounts.

Googletalk is just Jabber anyway. So any Jabber client supports it

But where is file sharing in Pidgin ???

There is simple filesharing f.e. for ICQ, MSN and Jabber (others i have not tested).
Dont expect every feature to be working like in the original clients, thats far to much work that would be ruined with the next protocol change.

Apparently a lot of blind voting going on, eh?

Check out his other idea. This might be a professional troll.

If not: my apologies.
But there is chance you actually know exactly what you are talking about and are just making fun of all of us.

I asked about the Voice chat. We need voice and video chat for our browsing centers.

I agree - pidgin is ok for simply old school chat . the end
we need real yahoo support .. some people need audio and video
installing 10 apps and hacks trying to get around the problem of no audio video is not a option !

@tshrinivasan
for voice chat, the only way I know on Linux is Jabbin and Skype, only Skype has worked for me.

There is pidgin!
It would be nicer to install ekiga and skype into pidgin and enable Video-messenging!
