The Buddy Lists
Once you've entered your account information, you're technically ready to start chatting. All you need now is a chatting companion, or what's called a buddy in instant-messaging circles. iChat comes complete with a Buddy List window in which you can house the chat "addresses" for all your friends, relatives, and colleagues out there on the Internet.
Actually, to be precise, iChat comes with three buddy lists (Figure 21-2):
AIM Buddy List. This window lists all of your chat pals who haveeither .Mac or AIM accounts; they all share the same buddy list. You see the same list whether you log into your .Mac or your AIM account.
Jabber List. Same idea, except that all of your contacts in this window must have Jabber or Google Talk accounts.
Bonjour. This list is limited to your local network buddies—the ones in the same building, most likely, and on the same network. You can't add names to your Bonjour list; anyone who's on the network and running iChat appears automatically in the Bonjour list.
