Raiting: 4.5/5
Linkinus is an amazing IRC client for mac. IRC is real time communication method for groups. The real difference with Linkinus is its sleek interface, which takes this cryptic communication method and makes it a usable method for the grand public. Another difference with Linkinus is its Shareware status, which means you can download a 15 day free trial from the Linkinus website for free, but once the trial is used up, you must either purchase Linkinus for $20 or stop using it. Since I have heard about linkinus, I have switched it to my default IRC application from Colloquy.
I recommend to any mac user who wants to get into public group chat. Download a trial and pop by and say hi in the iAppblog IRC chat room, click here to connect.
Version Reviewed: 1.1
Price: $20

Linkinus is my IRC App of Choice. I like it because when I open it, it automatically connects to my favorite irc servers, joins a lot of rooms, authenticates, adds my hidden host, all automatically! However, for some reason, it ALWAYS marks me as Away by default. I turned off the auto-away features in Preferences and it is still marking me as away. Automation is a cool feature, but it doesn’t work the greatest in my opinion. Other than that… Its a Great app!
