Empathy (software)

From Encoresoup - The Ultimate Guide to Free/Open Source Software

Empathy is a re-usable collection of Graphical User Interface widgets for developing instant messaging clients for the GNOME desktop. It is written as extension to the Telepathy framework, for connecting to different instant messaging networks with a unified user interface.

Empathy has been included in the GNOME desktop since version 2.24.^[1]

It includes a sample client with a similar overall look and feel to the earlier Gossip client for Jabber/XMPP servers.
