    "Not that good and security risk"

    August 22, 2008  |   By Ord3s

    Pros

    The basic is done very nice. And it is a good all in one IM. It has good functions and supports audio and video chat.

    Cons

    1. Memory. It takes much to much memory.
    2. Passwords are stored on their server. If u want to recover your password. U first enter your new password, Second u enter each password of every account u using. And that on a non encrypted site.

    Summary

    More cons:
    3. Log files. Everything is logged and i cant customize the way the storage/ delete of the log file is handled. e.g time/size, location etc
    4. Bad theme. To bulky, take too much space in the IM window. There need to be a simple theme. With individual color customiztion

    Summary
    The basic is good. And it has good functions. With only the memory leak and bad themes it would get a 3-4 stars rating. But with the bad security policy, and the need to store my password on there server it only get 2. Thinking about 1 actually.
