Geek Tip: Adding Video and Audio to Adium
If you prefer using Adium as your all-in-one messaging application, you'll be happy to hear that there is now a plug-in that integrates video and audio chat into this IM client. The freeware MeBeam plug-in lets you start chatting with you contacts immediately by video when you click "Initiate MeBeam Videochat." According to lifehacker, Adium will create a web-based chatroom and send the URL to your contacts, who don't need the plug-in themselves.

Meebo Adds Facebook and MySpace Into the Mix
If you have multiple instant messaging accounts that you still regularly use, sites like Adium and Meebo are great because they can consolidate all of your IM clients into one convenient spot.
Meebo not only supports MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, ICQ, AIM, and GTalk, but you can now use it for Facebook and MySpace's messaging services. I've noticed that it comes in handy when you need to talk to someone that you know is on your Facebook list but isn't added to your other IM accounts — just a little tidbit!

Utilizing Microsoft's Windows Live Contacts API, you can now go to sites like Bebo or Facebook and see all your friends — kinda like what Adium and Pidgin did for chat, except with social networking sites.
