Web-based Instant messenger 6 in 1 

Meebo is the web-based instant messaging service for MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, Gtalk, and Jabber. It is similar to Trillian which tries to combine all the popular IM software into one. The difference is that Meebo is web-based and does not require any software installations at all. It is great if you are on a public computer and wants to IM someone, it is also very secure.

Meebo gives you the choice to sign on the IM services individually or you can create a Meebo account which remembers your login info and will connect you to all the IM services all at the same time. The only downside is Meebo is essentially the lite version, since it's web-based it does not allow you to use voice or video. For those people who love to IM but don't want to have to install multiple IM software, this is definitely a great solution.
