ADVERTISEMENTS
Now days the concept of social networking is becoming more prevalent and many applications have been developed for the same purpose but only a few have succeeded and the one I liked most among them is eBuddy and the best part is that now it’s available for iphone also. Fringe is also another famous application but I have experienced quite some bugs and crash issues, so I have stopped using and switched to eBuddy and I must say, it’s really good.

The other applications like fringe will only show the messages from your friends as long as you have opened the application windows but eBuddy will also show pop up messages even if it’s running in the background. This feature is also available in fringe but that’s the paid version and the best part about eBuddy is that it’s available as a free download. This particular feature is called push message service.
Features of eBuddy:
• Just like yahoo and gtalk tries to auto reconnect if you have connection failure, the same attempt is made by eBuddy automatically so that you can get the best chat experience.
• As soon as you reconnect a pop window showing all the messages while you are were offline will appear on the screen.
• eBuddy is a multi protocol IM environment and supports all the famous IMs such as MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk and Face book
• Sometimes it gets tough to accommodate multiple chat windows on the small mobile phone screen; to lend a solution to this eBuddy has a tabbed chat window that allows easy switching between them coupled with iphone gestures.
• If its customization what you are looking for then you will get it certainly. You can change the look and also the custom status bar where you can express your mood and feelings openly and let others know what you are upto.
