In short all the other IMs have unknown agendas. Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo IMs have suffered attacks and have been known to lead to compromizing your PC. So I stick with open source.

I have Yahoo and have never used anything else. I enjoy it because I can search for members by interests and IM them to initiate a conversation without being in a chat room. Sometimes people want to talk like that and sometimes not. There is also the feature to search by word, age, sex, etc. Are there any out there that will offer these features that are better than Yahoo with more members or search features? I would like broad interests like Yahoo offers from ADULT to ZOOLOGY.
Any recommendations?
I did to PalTalk for a minute once it was grouped pretty well and allowed random contact.
Thanks..
