Use Renren chat with Adium for Mac OS X
As we did for QQ with Adium, we can connect to Renren (Xiaonei) chat with Mac OS X. This time it will be very easy, just need to fill an account with the right informations:
First we need to create a Jabber Account on Adium, we will use a special “ID”, which is your ID on Renren. If you don’t know your ID, just go to you profile page (个人主页), and look at the address bar, for me it’s like:
Profile address bar
Just not the number after the “id=“. My Jabber ID (用戶名) will be “250388793@renren.com” and the password (密碼) will be the same as my Renren password.
Now let go to the Options pane (帳戶選項), to modify the connect server (服務器) option to “talk.renren.com” and verify that the port (端口) is “5222“. Then .. it’s finish, confirm and connect ! You’ll see all your friends, organized by groups :)
Use QQ with Adium for Mac OS X
As most of chinese Mac users know, we don’t have a lot of choice to ue QQ. We have the basic official QQ 1.0 Beta1 desktop client, but it’s still a very poor interface, and seem to have no development on it. We also can use the web client, it’s very complete, but it’s not a desktop application.
I use Adium for my other account (msn, jabber, facebook, gtalk,..) but the login with QQ was nonfunctional with the lastest version of this software. But we are lucky and now there is a way to use QQ on Adium.
First you should download the beta version of Adium (1.4b17 actually), install it, and configure your QQ account. Then you should go to the Options tab, and modify like this:
- Login server: 219.133.49.215
- Port: 8000
- Uncheck the TCP connection
- Select the 2008 client version.
Then you can connect to QQ with Adium, there is no special option for QQ, but it’s still better than the basic client provided by Tencent.
