Multifunctional messenger with TV, radio and more
Although goober Messenger looks like just another Instant Messaging client, it is in fact much much more.
goober Messenger encompasses absolutely everything from aggregating RSS feeds to video playback and cheap calls to mobile networks worldwide. This is undoubtedly an ambitious package but for the most part, goober Messenger does a decent job of providing them all quickly and efficiently. When you install goober Messenger, you'll need to sign-up for an account which takes a minute or so although doesn't involve divulging anything you're not comfortable with.
The toolbar along the top is the main control center for goober Messenger. From here you can add new messenger contacts from major IM clients, manage your address book and add widgets amongst other things. The widget function is something that makes goober Messenger a little more unique than other IM clients as they allow you to expand the functionality of goober Messenger very easily.
You've also got access to an online hard drive which only gives you 200MB of free space but it's better than nothing. Another interesting feature is the radio and TV button which allows you to watch and listen to TV and radio channels within goober Messenger. Many of the channels are pretty obscure but the quality of streaming is good and you can watch them in full screen by double clicking on them. Other buttons include options to join special topic orientated chat rooms, payment for sending text messages, a text messaging function and a button to change goober Messenger settings.
goober Messenger deserves full marks for being innovative and although it feels maybe a bit too overwhelming at first. If you were to take advantage of all of it's features though, you'd have a mighty powerful and comprehensive messenger, multimedia and online storage solution.

Nice messaging software.
Goober messenger is all-in-one massaging program that facilitates to configure Yahoo!, AIM, Google, MSN etc. and it makes chatting very easy.
Pros:

It makes computer start-up very slow. Sometimes it causes to freeze windows explorer during the windows logon. More

Nice features pack!.
I love it, can't belive how many features this piece of software has! As Alexu said, the widgets are great, and I use them on my Facebook page and contact page. I also got a goober.me/username contact page and username@goober.com free email, which is good for a free instant messenger.With the latest Digsby problems (hidden processes, took control of your cpu usage & increased electrical bills) I can only be happy I found Goober. I use it to connect to my MSN and gTalk accounts as well.
Pros:
Free email
Free webfolder (like your personal Filefront)
Great features
Videochat quality rocks
Works on windows, mac and linux
I can add MSN, AIM, ICQ, gTalk and Jabber contacts
They have a twitter page, facebook page, youtube channel etc. Cons:
Not much, really. The "Outstanding" rating that the editor gave is pretty much what Goober is - can't think of any flaws so far, and if there are some, it's so minor they don't even matter. More

Best Videochat Image clarity.
I have seen and used a lot. This is by far the best image clarity i have ever seen on any videochat. Their live customer support via Widget is great and the VOIP rates are among the best in the industry. In many cases nearly 50% below Skype. Pros:
Available on any platform and operating system including iPhone
Best Videochat ever.
Very low VOIP rates
Great customer support
Breathtaking features
Cons:
User interface is not always logical
