Facebook IM Wars

Submitted by solacetech on March 18, 2008 - 10:21am.

No, this isn't DeJa-Vu. Due to a mysterious "Sam" commenting on my Social.im article, I'm now compelled to investigate about this other IM app for Facebook.
Now Yapper(that's what it's called) definitely installed quicker and smoother than Social.IM. Being based on Java, it managed to keep it's native color instead of matching my current XP theme. For some strange reason on the website I invited 10 friends(sorry guys,you know who you are),but when the standalone launched,it showed me all of my friends with an "add me" button just like Social.IM. One HUGE difference is that I get a lot of "info pop-ups"from Yapper. I like that and even though I don't plan to join the built in chat rooms,it' cool to see the traffic...Sorry Making the band 4 is on...I'm back, um yeah so overall since I forced my contacts to join Social.IM first, I'll probably stick with it even if Yapper does have more bells and whistles. Sorry Sam...
