I`ve not tried it myself,hope its of use to someone

Pidgin ( http://www.pidgin.im/ ) is a chat client that lets you connect to a multitude of different IM services all at the same time. Much easier than running MSN/Yahoo/AIM/whatever all on the same pc. Supports the following:
AIM
* Bonjour
* Gadu-Gadu
* Google Talk
* Groupwise
* ICQ
* IRC
* MSN
* MySpaceIM
* QQ
* SILC
* SIMPLE
* Sametime
* XMPP
* Yahoo!
* Zephyr

I've been using www.meebo.com . I'll have to give that one a try. It looks like it supports more than Meebo does.

I use pidgin, since I can have ten accounts active at once and it still only uses half the memory of the regular YIM client. All scammers use yahoo, but I use mostly AIM for my personal stuff. Pidgin lets me use both in the same client which is cool. Also, the chat log recording is nice for keeping a record of lad conversations.
