They work; it would just be easier to use one client- MSN likes to kick me off.

But right now I am on.

The first one I used was AIM. I had a really good friend on there when I was obsessed with Harry Potter. o.o >< Then that computer died and a year later I am like "...Well, damn." ...But, I use MSN now. 8D

Yes, for example, www.meebo.com. It uses the libpurple library (the same library that Pidgin uses).

ICQ was my first, but then it got bought up by AIM and they turned it into another AIM, it makes me sad.

Does anyone remember POWWOW?  That was fun, I like the voice fonts
