techcrunch.com — Last week Facebook and Meebo made an announcement to team up. The announcement was latest in a series of policy changes that indicate that IM is finally starting to open up, representing a paradigm shift could potentially lead to a slew of innovations. That is, as soon as the largest remaining holdouts - Yahoo and Microsoft - follow suit.

It does but you still have to have accounts for each and every different f**king IM service. Just think if you could only send email to a hotmail account from a hotmail account, gmail from gmail etc. Thats the kind of crap IM services need to get around.

yea major downside, another thing that digsby can get annoying is when their central server is down, its impossible to start up the client as it always needs to connect to central server before starting. But I still do like it a lot, hopefully they will get that linux version out sometime in the near future.

Pidgin!

I had three or five or six clients... Miranda was no good for me, but Pidgin works. Default interface could use some work, but it's good enough that I'm down to Pidgin and Skype now.
