meebo.com
It’s a web based chat client that connects to aim, google chat, yahoo, and MSN.
As a bonus, it works at work, where everything else is banned, or you can’t install new software by yourself. A+ for meebo.
Adium by far. It supports a number of providers including, AIM, Hotmail, ICQ, Yahoo, G Talk, Mobile Me and even Facebook and Myspace chat!
Great I never heard of adium I am trying it out now
Pidgin is a multi provider client, an it’s open source. There are a lot of useful addons that make im-ing easier or better.
On a mac I do use “Adium” and on a PC I use “Digsby”. Both Are great chat programs.
I use Trillian on the PC and Adium on the mac.
meebo hands down. I love meebo logs.
My work requires and only allows Microsoft Office Communicator. (sigh)
However, it’s not all bad:
- it uses internal servers for intra-company chat, so conversations are private and not kept on Google’s servers somewhere
- it can interface with AIM, Y!, GTalk, and ICQ (maybe others).
- it archives my conversations into a special Outlook folder
- it updates my status based on my Outlook Calendar

What I don’t like is:
- no avatars supported
- stuck with my corporate screenname everywhere… can’t use any of my personal accounts
I use Pidgin as it’s available for me on both Linux and Windows :) plus it’s compatible with so many networks.
