Anyway, Beejive is cool, but still prefer Palringo. Another one to try is Nimbuzz. I actually think that one has the most potential, but still prefer Palringo right now. As far as battery drain, I don't see a way to stop that if you keep your Palringo running since it requires a constant data connection. I only launch it when I'm ready to chat, so don't have too much of a battery issue. If you don't want it to launch automatically, you can change that in the settings.

About the "TAG", the other side wont know unless YOU set an away message. which will show something like [via Palringo]. the problem is.. once its set.. its set for good. So dont ever use Away message in order to keep the other side from knowing u r using palringo.
