Agreed, which makes it extremely unfortunate that it is the only client I've found on any platform that supports the range of services I want to connect to. I'm still desperately looking for a half usable client that supports at least Twitter and Identica, but also Facebook (spit) and I guess now Google+ (Diaspora*?!). If it could handle multiple accounts that would be even better (Twitter and Identica wise that is). Even if I narrow down the requirements to just Twitter I can't find a client that I'm completely happy with :( Empathy is somewhat lacking too unfortunately. It frequently fails to connect to some accounts (not ones I really care about thankfully, and that is likely due to the services themselves I suspect). There's a few features I miss from Pidgin (although I'd have to power it up to remember the, as I've been using Empathy for a while now - last seen time is one, although it is just last time you were both on at the same time). The main annoyance at the moment, though, is that I can't find a way to add a certificate authority to it so my Jabber server throws up an error each time I connect (and I'd rather do it properly than just ignore the error - these things annoy me!). -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
