An elite tek from Romania, Ady, crafted a portable version of the Pidgin Instant Messenger.

For those who do not know, Pidgin is the non-commercial IM application for those with superior technical tastes. (For the record, I am also a frequent user of meebo. Pidgin is my choice when on an insecure network, or when I don’t want my chat logs stored on a corporate server.) You can send messages to any network — AIM, Yahoo, Google, MSN, Jabber, ICQ, and whatever other weird system you use. It can be customized with themes and plugins.

This portable version comes with the OTR encryption plugin built-in; a must have for elite users who care about privacy.

Consider this application a must-have on your elite flash disk.
