A Good Instant Messenger Laid Out Wrong.
Fring is actually a pretty good free instant messenger with a lot of different Instant Messenger services to choose from including Skype and the rest of your favoirte Instant Messenger services like AIM, YAHOO and MSN.However that is the only good thing I can say about Fring due to the downsides of Fring. One of the downsides is it groups all services together and there is no separate service picture, they all have the Fring Logo. Also when you close out Fring the icon doesn't stay in the statusbar like Meebo and eBuddy do. So there is no telling if your signed out or not unless someone messages you and you receive the messages. Also if you have a lot of contacts, it will just add them in with the rest of the instant messenger services and it all becomes a confusing mess.All in all if you don't like Meebo and eBuddy or neither have the service you need, Fring is worth a shot. Just remember it's not laid out as well as Meebo and eBuddy so things can get confusing quickly.
Pros: Lots Of Different Instant Messenger Services
Incorporates Contact List
Free
Cons: All Services Are Meshed Together
All Services Get The Same Logo
No Way To Tell If You Get Disconnected Or Not
