'wow' weblinks - Multi-Protocol Chat Clients

Handy multi-protocol chat/IM clients.

The multi-protocol sometimes referred to as Multi Platform or Cross Network Messenger or All-in-One clients are programs that incorporate more than one individual IM platform, at the same time allowing loging in with different instant messengers. For example, I have installed Digsby which I use for chatting with friends/buddies on yahoo, gtalk and msn accounts, all at once. Sometimes, when far from home or can't access my computer, I use the web based muli-protocol IMs, preferably the imo.im
