Nice application. Easy to use and informative. I'm not much of a social presence online, so I'm not using much of it's power but, for what I have: email, facebook, and Google Voice, this is really quite nice.

This version does not work on PPC. I have an PowerBook running Leopard 10.5.8 and I cannot install this version. MU: Please fix the system requirements on this page. MACUPDATE: Never mind my other "double posts" on Troubleshooting section, the new UI for MU is really confusing and easy to miss those tabs!!!!
