While the majority of my contacts are on MSN, I also have contacts in Google Chat, Facebook and AOL Instant Messenger.
Having all my contacts in different protocols means that I have to use MSN Live, for MSN contacts, Use a Browser window for Facebook and Google Chat, and AIM for AOL Contacts.
Well to make things easier, I've started using Pidgin.
Older Ubuntu users are probably already familiar with Pidgin, as it used to be the default messaging application. However, its also available for Windows and Mac OS X, making it an ideal application for many people.
Upon finishing installation of Pidgin, you just use your sign-in names for each network or account you use and voila, all done!
Also, instead of having a lot of windows open for each conversation you have, Pidgin has a tabbed interface for your conversations, making it easier to find who you're talking to.
Furthermore, there are several plugins available to enhance the usability of Pidgin!
It's great to have all your stuff in one place, and makes things much more organized, Pidgin is a great application to keep your friends close!
Pidgin is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora Core.
