Advantages Easy to use
Disadvantages Emoticons quite dated

This is an extensive update on one of my earliest ops. Originally this was only one paragraph. I've learned a lot since then! Odigo is a messenger along the lines of Yahoo and is an instant messenger which can also be used to chat in a chat room. The messenger is available to download from www.odigo.org. Odigo state that their messenger has around a million users worldwide. INSTALLATION ************ The messenger can be download from the website. The download is approximately 2.8 Mb.

Odigo, by CW666 26/05/2001

Advantages Let's you see who's on the same site/page
Disadvantages Doesn't want to connect me to Yahoo anymore

I downloaded Odigo Messenger after reading a review of it in Internet Magazine, I had previously downloaded Yahoo Messenger but this was only an instant messenger, and I wanted something more. Although this is called 'Odigo.Com' in the category, it is actually just the messenger. When you log onto the site you have to options, the corporate side, and the Download side. Obviously most people will use the Download side, but I went to the corporate side to check on something. I did this because some people didn't get it from Oidgo, but got it from BET or BT sites.

Odigo or should i stay now...... 30/04/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to install , easy to find people with almost an exact match you are looking for.
Disadvantages sometimes slow to send and recieve messages, rude algerians

I found the Odigo instant messenger on the Lineone homepage , they are using it as thier instant messenger, however it is not made by them, but a seperate download is available from www.odigo.com The messenger is so easy to use, it displays people in a window and you can click on thier user names and then view thier profiles. The messenger has a 'Wing' that extends from the left hand side of the main box, this allows you to narrow down your search by defining what age/gender/country and even county they should be from. For example you can choose an 80 year old female from outer mongolia i ... more

Advantages I have made many good friends.
Disadvantages Odigo used to freeze my system.It has'nt now with the updated version(so far).

The Odigo messenger has a good set up.In a short amount of time I can navigate through it's parametors quite well. It allows me to put up details about myself or omit them.I can block people if they annoy me.In the tools there is even a section that allows me to locate someone I may have lost from haveing to reinstall. It has a buddy list like all messengers do.It has a navigator which reminds me of submarine navigation.There is also a section that allows me to invite a chat.The part of it which I enjoy using the most is the navigation wing. The navigation wing allows me to select the ... more
