Gadu-Gadu is an instant messaging program that is popular in Poland.
Gadu Gadu is financed by the display of advertisements. As with ICQ, users are identified by their serial numbers. There are numerous add-ons available to provide extra features. The official version provides over 150 smiley icons, and allows off-line messages, data dispatch, and VoIP. From version 6.0, an experimental SSL secure connection mode can be used.
One of the most popular features of Gadu-Gadu is the status option, allowing users to display short text messages visible under their buddy icons on other user's contact lists.
Gadu-Gadu uses its own proprietary protocol. Many unofficial plug-ins have been created to expand its capabilities. Several other instant messagers have the ability to communicate with GG protocol - for example, Gaim and Tlen.
The manufacturer is based in Warsaw.
