New Instant Messenger from Mozilla

Instantbird is a new project launched by Mozilla Foundation, a foundation behind popular web browser Firefox and E-Mail client Thunderbird.

Instantbird will be based on Mozilla technologies and use Pidgin’s libpurple to deliver you a brand new messenger.

Just like Pidgin(prev. Gaim) Instantbird will support:

I’ve tried Instantbird v.01 myself and I think it’s very light, default installation lets you do text messaging only. But there are plugins and add-ons of course.

Good luck to Mozilla, with the experience of creating state of the art browser and E-Mail client I really hope they will launch a very good messenger!

    Do you think InstantBird is a good name for it?

    Its all about choices, we need more choices. And I’m sure they will come out with something extra/different from what we have right now.

    Let’s see what they will bring to the market!
