There's Microsoft's Mac Messenger, which is compatible.
yer i no, bt that doesn't have a lot of the features that 'live' does. i mean, if you could use the isight as a webcam in messenger, that wud b good, or if you could nudge someone, so to speak
I'm not into the whole messaging thing but I've heard a few complaints about the lack of live messenger for Mac and I wondered if this would be any good.

cheers, i downloaded each of the ones suggested and this one was the best
I personally prefer Adium quite a bit more over aMSN just because the look and feel seem more smooth, but aMSN does provide video support to MSN for Windows users. Of course you could also use iChat to videochat to AIM for Windows or the beta of Skype for Mac with video to talk to PC users and they have better quality...
i dont think it does work, your better off using aMSN, that works fine
Tried them all. And to be honest, Mercury Messenger is by far and away the best. Its fast to login to, stable, easy to manage interface, track conversations etc. Built-in support for the isight inbuilt mac webcams we have, and has RSS feed support (something Windows Live messenger DOESNT have!).
I'd thoroughly recommend it to any Mac user out there.
i downloaded the mercury messenger its amazing i'm using the isight built in camera on my msn account through mercury messenger its fantastic and this is only the free one!

Just FYI, there's this new upstart company calling themselves Google, who support video chat on Mac, Linux and Windows platforms. This 'Google' appears to be committed to cross-platform interoperability. The ability to chat comes with the creation of an email account from some site called GMail or Google Mail or something.
Yahoo? AIM? MSN Live? WTF?! It's 2010, people. Time to cancel your AOL accounts, too.

It has everything you want:
* New look and feel for OS X
* New features including Avatars, sounds, and display images
* IM with friends that use Windows Live? (MSN) Messenger*
It is a Beta (Beta 3.0 "Beta 1") but I have been using it for a few weeks and it has been very stable!!
plus it has the nudge you like
How does this app compare?
