IM 软件 安全性 多协议 比较 comparison security multiprotocol client

[wanghx]

recently I tried pidgin, miranda im, digsby. pidgin and digsby are better than miranda im.
pidgin and miranda im are opensource, and supports encryption.
almost none of the them supports skype without running skype.

irc is the safest way to chat, when used with encryption, DCTC (direct client to client connection), I think. but without audio/video function.

pidgin 的好处，支持加密通话，有两个加密模块可以选用。
