Adium 1.4 ships with support for Twitter, better group chat features
The duck is amuck: the versatile & free multi-service Mac IM client Adium has reached a new milestone, version 1.4. The new version includes support for Twitter messaging, full IRC support, improved group chat services and bookmarks for persistent chats, an update to the underlying libpurple chat library, and many other tweaks and fixes. The new build requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer.Adium supports popular chat networks such as AIM/MobileMe, Google Talk (along with all other Jabber/XMPP-based chat services), MSN and Yahoo! Messenger; it also connects to Facebook chat and other services like QQ, Gadu-Gadu, Lotus Sametime and Novell Groupwise. No, it doesn't do voice or video (or FaceTime), just sweet old text like our forefathers intended.
The Adium open source project keeps chugging along, despite a severe resource crunch and shortage of development hours. If you're a savvy Mac programmer with an interest in the topic, the team would welcome your energy and contributions.

How about export/importing of contacts so it's easier to get your contact names into multiple machines (and you have to stop guessing who "l337macn00b" is. That'd be nice.

I do wish they'd hurry up and fix that.
It's working for most folks in the current build. Try deleting your account in Adium and resetting it.

Looks borked.
I really hope mac developers help out on this, Adium is literally all i use and it would be awesome if it got video chatting and kept moving along nicely in terms of progress, let me know if i can help out with development (i have no coding experience like, just a love of the program) :)
