Jabber and Adium Question

[Ynought]

I'm not familiar with all the IM clients out there so needless to say, I don't know anything about jabber. Can I chat with Jabber users through Adium? If so, do I need a Jabber account? If so, how do I get one. I tried some quick searching on the Web but didn't find anything too straight forward.

thanks.

I believe you can use Adium to communicate on Jabber servers. Yes, you do have to create an account on the Jabber servers in order to connect and use the Jabber protocol in Adium (or any other multi-IM client for that matter). You should be able to create one right from Adium. If not, you might have to head http://www.jabber.org and register there.
