Instant messengers

I've always found it hard to keep track of 6 instant messengers. So I got Trillian, and it's working great. If you're using Windows, and want to handle your instant messengers with ease, I strongly recommend that you try one of the following:

Pidgin (formerly Gaim): http://www.pidgin.im/

you just noticed it recently? :) congrats.. but 6 messengers? dang

i got msn, yahoo, aim, and freenode... umm icq is the only other one i know of?? whats the other ? or are you just talking about names

i use pidgin

I use Kopete. I have a total of nine accounts over five different protocols, plus my Freenode IRC account, but I use a different client (irssi) for IRC.

I used to use GAIM (I think that's how you spell it), but then I moved to using Trillian when I got my new U3 Flash Drive (even though I only use one IM and sometimes IRC).

Let's see...
I have MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM and Skype. Yahoo, ICQ and AIM are on Trillian, whilst MSN is on Windows Live Messenger, and Skype is on.. Skype. :p

I have IRC, ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN/WLM, Jabber and AIM.
