Instant messaging has been evolving throughout the years. From ICM to AIM to facebook and hopefully skype. If your antyhing like me, it seems everyone I know perfers something different. Although 90% of my friends like to chat either using AIM, facebook, or google. I hate opeing 2 programs when 1 will do. That's why I use Pidgin instant messenger. This is an open source product that combines almost every chat service into 1 familar tool. You may remember an older program named GAIM that started in Linux, this is the same tool just evolved a bit. It looks and feels a lot like the old AIM client which i liked the best. I currently use it for yahoo, AIM, google and facebook chat, but it also includes all of the chat interfaces listed below. I enable facebook chat through a third party plugin: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/. Because the software is open source there are tons of features, much like the facebook plugin. There are logging plugins or smiley plugins and a whole lot more. This is a highly recommended software if you do a lot of chatting online and especially if you want to use multiple services.
