Ive stuck with pidgin even though Ubuntu has moved to empathy because
I can use it on windows and ubuntu and just save my .purple file and use it
when setting up new computers.

But Ive run into a problem. I use Google to host mail email, Godaddy has
my url. Can anyone verify that the way to setup pidign to use goolge talk
with a custom domain is to add talk to a cname pointed at ghs.google.com?
