Instant Messaging across IM Clients...It CAN be done. Thanks to sites like Meebo (www.meebo.com), you can talk to all of your friends at once through one program. Because of sites like this, you don't have to have multiple instant message programs pulled up clogging your task bar, nor do you have to check several windows to see if different friends are online. A drawback might be linking all of your user names and information through a third party (privacy issues, security issues).
Overall, I think that instant messaging can still be a valuable social networking tool for those who use it and like being able to chat with others online.
