<p>What are some recommended IM apps? Preferably one that supports multiple IM networks. Specifically, I would love to be on both AIM and Facebook chat at the same time. Any suggestions?</p>

Both support both AIM and Facebook, among others. And both are free!</p>

Granted, I haven' gone back to Meebo since they were at around version 15 - so you might want to check if they resolved the issue with constant disconnects.</p>
<p>Of course if Trillian would get off the iPhone bandwagon and port their app to Android, they'd beat any of those other apps. But I'm biased there :)</p>

<p>eBuddy is definitely better since it hasn't forceclosed on me yet BUT i notice that it happens to add additional buddies that I have never formally approved. other than that, eBuddy is a good app until Meebo gets its act together.</p>
