cIM
cIM is the University's instant messaging (IM) service. With an appropriately configured client, you can use this service to electronically chat with anyone else at the University who also has such a client, as well as people off-campus who are using Jabber-compatible services (such as Google Talk). cIM allows you to use instant messaging in a safe and secure environment. No commercial server is used, and your conversation is not mined for data. It's also easy to find people using cIM because you can look up contacts in the University's directory.
To download Spark, our recommended cIM client, visit the Connectivity Software site.
