1 edit		[Need Info] IM Programs

I find myself needing more and more messenger programs. AIM, Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo!.

I used to use other programs and right now i'm running them all separate. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the best program to merge all of these are. I know about Trillian and Pidgin but I'm asking for more informed answers on the route I should take.

So, please, suggest a program?

I was running GTalk and since I'm already running Disgby...I went ahead and removed GTalk

I enjoy Disgby very much compared to Trillian and Pidgin. No crashing, simple interface that I can easily sort. I now have Disgby running Facebook, Twitter, AIM (3 accounts), Yahoo, GTalk, Jabber, MSN (2 accounts)

I also support Digsby fully. It's a nice, clean program, better than Pidgin and Trillian (I've used both of those a lot before). Facebook, AIM, GTalk, Twitter, Yahoo, MSN...etc, etc.

I use Meebo.com, it allows you to login through many different IM services at once. And the best part there is nothing to install locally, it is all done through the browser.

Pidgin, not the most stable out there, but more fun.
