    You can try Pidgin as an alternative multi-protocol IM program...

    I tried Trillian, but wasn't really happy with the way it wanted to perform. Digsby is much better in my opinion. The only bad thing about all of these programs, is they lose a lot of the key features available to the main programs. Take yahoo for example, it has photo sharing and voice chat. While I don't use these all the time, I still find myself using them from time to time.
