Does nudge become buzz in Yahoo since Yahoo and MSN combined

Post by drmoque »

I know there is at least one other active discussion on nudges but this is a slightly different question so I thought a new post might be in order.

Since the new Yahoo and MSN clients both allow you to include both Yahoo and MSN user id's, what happens when you send a /nudge from Adium to a Yahoo client. Does it become a buzz?

I read in another post there is a script to implement /buzz though the user comments on the script homepage seemed to indicate it did not work. It occurred to me that perhaps a /nudge would be the workaround to getting the equivalent of a buzz.

I tested the /nudge wiht a friend using Windows MSN client and he said he got the shaking and a chime sound and an IM message saying I had sent a nudge. On my end with Adium, I got only the IM message as expected.

I also tried /nudge with a friend on Yahoo using GAIM on a windows based machine. Nothing happened for him and all we both saw was /nudge so it was not recognized by either client as a command even. Again that is what I would have expected.

So if any of u have tried this I would be curious to know what happens.
