If you’re on a Mac, the ability to have Facebook Messenger conversations right in the Messages app of OS X is really quite nice, the conversations will appear alongside other text messages and iMessages, Google Chat, Yahoo Messenger, or AOL / AIM communications.
Anyone found a good alternative to gmail.com for using the Hangouts chat? I hate using Chrome, and I don't really like having to have Safari open at gmail.com to be able to receive messages on my Mac.. I downloaded Flamingo, and while it actually works pretty well, it doesn't support group chats, which is a deal breaker for me.. Any other good apps out there that support Hangouts? Looks like Google has not made the Hangouts API public so there aren't too many out there right now unfortunately..
