Wait till Jumii.com opens up. Jumii connects all of your social networks (like Mebo does for IM) so you can read and send messages, comments, bulletins, pics and more accross your networks all from one place.

I have it on Vista and XP and works well. I am waiting for the Mac client now but I don't know if it will be able to replace Adium for me or not. You have to create a Digsby account which scares some people but basically you do that so it keeps all your settings so they are kept whatever computer you go to to use it, pretty slick. So you fonts, your skin, your sounds, all that should carry from computer to computer by just logging in. I use Digsby and it’s good. I have it on Vista and XP and works well.
