Yes, you heard me right, with Pidgin you can be chatting with your friends on Yahoo chat, MSN, Google Talk, Facebook and many more at once in a single interface. Imagine your best friend prefers using Facebook chat but your girl friend prefers Yahoo messenger and your colleagues prefers Google Talk and you have a need to connect with all this people at the same time, it will be tedious to connect your Facebook chat, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk chat clients at once jumping from one chat client to the other to reply your messages. But with Pidgin you can have your entire chat client joined in one so you can access all your friends at once.
