For those who don't know what that is, it is a program that adds lots of functions for MSN and YIM. For it to work properly, the person who you are talking to must equally have it installed on his computer.
I'm using it for about 6 months and works perfectly well.

Wow.. I thought for sure this was a spam bot before I opened it... And yeah, use the pidgin link Kerm posted. Since when does anyone over age 12 care about what kind of smileys you have?
its badware, just like all that other smiley crap

Agreed. It's probably bloatware, it probably phones home, and it's no doubt vastly inferior to its open source alternatives.

You guys got it wrong:
SweetIM is not a Messenger: it just adds functions to MSN or YIM that are already installed on the computer...

Oh, that's even more useless to me, as it requires using the slow and awkward officil clients. 
Or will it work with third-party client?
And isn't it kind of useless that the other person has to have it installed? I'd much rather someone just linked me to a cool looking smiley than waste my precious bandwidth and disk space downloading bloatware.

That looks pretty cool, it's like Trillian + Facebook. I'd give it a try, but it looks like it doesn't support IRC, which is a dealbreaker for me.

Just reinforces my badware statement.

With that said, I could see for a different userbase, like those who use IM for a different type of socialization than me, that it could be helpful.
You mean like for little kids or old people who want to feel "young and hip", but fail miserably at it?

. It sports a very nice GUI that you can change to your liking and makes good use of pop-ups by allowing you to reply to IM's inside the pop-up while in other applications... It keeps track of Facebook/Twitter/MySpace notifications, too. It's definitely worth giving it a try if you don't use IRC that often.
The IRC thing didn't bother me too much as I just never really liked the IRC clients in the multiprotocol programs.

IRC in Trillian, Pidgin, etc... sucks. XChat blows them all away.

When I used it, I couldn't seem to stay connected to an IRC server. Also, I could never seem to be able to DCC into EFNeti86 or any of the other bots on #tcpa.

I never had a problem, it just sucked in comparison. But then again, ignorance is bliss
