Goodbye Fring
I've used fring occasionally for a long time now. I first used it with the Nokia N95, and then most recently with Android and iPhone 4 for video chat. I had also used it as a generic SIP client, too.
And now I've just been told by my wife that it's spamming her and, presumably, everyone with status update messages. And frequently! Just check out that screenshot.
I've set both the iPhone and Android client to not do that. But, guess what? It's still doing that. Amazingly annoying, especially since I don't even use fring for IM.
With the recent removal of Skype, I don't see why I should keep using it. Maybe I'll go back to it later. Maybe not. The video quality was decent, the audio quality was great. And, unfortunately, there are basically no other alternatives yet. So, we'll see... for now, that, I have to remove it and hope that the status updates stop!
