 Chatting with friends 

Instant messaging has become an essential communication tool, which allows you to chat in real time with your friends or colleagues (i.e. your 
Contacts). This is why the eCAFÉ™ features Pidgin, a multi-protocol instant messaging service that is compatible with the most common 
instant messaging applications. 

The Pidgin configuration wizard launches when you first run the instant messaging application, in order to help you setup your instant 
messaging account. 

1. Click on Add. 

 

2. In the Protocol drop-down list, select your instant messaging service (e.g. MSN).
