SamePlace : How to add Yahoo MSN AIM ICQ contacts

A lot of people have been wondering how to talk to their friends on Yahoo, MSN, AIM or ICQ networks on SamePlace.

The answer is Jabber Transports.

Here is a screencast that shows how you can add your friends from all these services using open Jabber transports.



A list of transports that were open to use as of : 26 Dec 2007 23:00 hrs CEST is as follows :

# aim.jabber.me.uk

Please remember that SamePlace does not manage these transports, merely uses them. Transports may go up and down and vary in their service. In that case, all you have to do is shift to a new one.

If you're willing to contribute your transports or servers to the SamePlace community, please add it in the wiki.
