is there any good unified messenger software?
that you can use to talk to people on MSN, Yahoo and AIM... with one application so I dont have to run all three all the time?
Anyone know of such a thing?

Trillian absolutely rocks. Talk to all my MSN, Yahoo, and AIM friends at the same time. Semi-transparent windows, too.. ooooOOooh.
The Linux geeks like Jabber, too.. it's open source.

Trillian is pretty good. It works well; continues to keep me happy - which is sometimes harder than it may seem.

Trillian has some serious limitations since they've split it into a free and pay (Trillian Pro) version.
People say good things about GAIM all the time, but it struck me as bloated crap. I use Miranda.

For the Mac (I see OP is probably on a Windows box) I recommend Adium. Great little application, annoying default sounds.
And another vote for Trillian on Windows side. I upgraded to the paid version and honestly there is nothing there that I really need. The free/basic version is really quite good.

Charlatan - it was the only one I could find. I like that it also incorporates Google Talk - however, now I have some people on my buddy list 3-4 times because they also use each method.

I have used Miranda in the past. It is very basic to start off with but has all manner of plugins to configure it. Like the foobar2000 of the IM world; it takes time to get it right but can rock when you do. Not sure about webcam support, haven't used it in a year or so.

I like GAIM. It's one of the few that will work with my segregated hard drive. It's ever-so-user-friendly when I'm tired, but it screws with the Active X settings for my work stuff. And being that this is my work laptop that I use at home, well...
