Er zijn inmiddels een aantal verschillende Instant Messaging-netwerken. Hierdoor kan het voorkomen dat er een aantal vrienden of kennissen gebruik maken van een IM-netwerk waar jij geen gebruik van maakt. Daarom zijn er IM-programma's ontwikkeld die ondersteuning bieden aan meerdere IM-netwerken. GAIM is zo'n programma en biedt ondersteuning voor AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu en Zephyr.
Ondanks de grote stroomstoring in de Verenigde Staten is GAIM aangekomen bij versie 0.67, die de volgende release notes mee heeft gekregen:
Gaim 0.67 has been released. It looks really nice. Some choice nuggets you'll find in the ChangeLog include a brand new IRC plugin from Ethan "The Man" Blanton and some beautiful status icons on conversation tabs by Etan "Also The Man" Reisner. And even though this version is totally awesome, we're already working hard on 0.68. Stay tuned.
