 | | Some instant messaging applications attempt to combine the many disparate protocols into a single, unified client. |
| | Examples include Trillian, Gaim, Fire, Proteus, Miranda IM, Adium, Everybuddy, Ayttm, Kopete, Centericq and BitlBee. |
| | The Jabber / XMPP protocol takes a somewhat different approach, moving the task of communicating to the other services to the server, allowing clients to be simpler and waste fewer resources. |
