Jitsi: A Multi-Protocol, Cross Platform Compatible Chat, Call And Video Client

[rajeesh]

Whether you are using Mac, Windows or Linux, I am sure you have your own favorite chat client that you use on a daily basis. For some of you, you might even have a audio/video call client that you use to make free call to your friends. Wouldn’t it be great if you have these two applications combined into one and it works regardless which OS you are using? Jitsi is the one for you.

Jitsi is a java-based desktop client that supports multiple chat and audio/video call protocols. You can use it to connect to the various instant messaging service like MSN, Facebook, Google Talk, Yahoo, ICQ, and also make audio/video call with SIP and XMPP. It doesn’t support Skype though, but other than that, this seems to be the most complete app I have ever come across.

I have it downloaded but have not tried it yet. I was looking for a "lite" client and ended up with Pidgen... again. How is Jitsi on cpu and memory footprint? I could be a good backup, maybe.
