Has anyone tried Qnext. This is like Trillian x 1000. Universal IM across all major protocols and platforms.
4-way video chat
8-way audio chat
Photo, File, Music Sharing
Remote PC Access
Gaming…Like, come on – this is a no-brainer…
December 26, 2005 at 10:16 pm #135210Hurricane22491MemberI downloaded and tried Qnext for a little bit and I can’t say I was impressed enough to change from Trillian. I didn’t like the interface, and the extra features it has don’t really appeal to me. I don’t have audio or video chats with people online, I don’t share pictures or music with my friends through IM, and I don’t play games like the ones it has with my friends. Not that the program as a whole is bad, it just didn’t have what it takes to change what I use for instant messaging..
Trillian is nice and simple. It does what I need it to do and it has features that I like/use.

December 28, 2005 at 7:08 am #135208SparksMemberThe Qnext folks are providing something a lot more like a more-easily-controlled and more friendly Gnutella, albeit crossed with something sort of like Rhapsody.
They’ve been pretty up-front that they don’t view Qnext as primarily an IM client, nor do they have any intention of making it such. It seems really quite cool for what it is, though!

Thank you Sarah! I hope you are ok 🙂 yes it is sometimes,but that is life :pFebruary 10, 2006 at 10:44 am #135215migoMemberWhat got me with Qnext was that the file transfers didn’t work with non-Qnext users.
