Chat clients generally aren't a very exciting topic for blog posts, however Empathy is a very cool chat client. As of Ubuntu 9.10, Empathy is now the default universal chat client instead of Pidgin.
This is old news really, but Ronald and I just got to test out the "share my desktop" feature and it is very nice. Basically, any of your buddies over any IM carrier (as far as I know) who is using Empathy can simply right-click on your screen name and click "share my desktop." This will open a remote desktop session in which they can see your desktop and control your mouse and keyboard.
Remote desktop applications are abundant on Mac and Windows, so its cool that Ubuntu Linux now has such a simple way to remotely support your Ubuntu-using friends and family.
