Along this search I came across Digsby which is still in beta, but I thought I would give it a shot. What can I say its very cool, it's more then just an IM client. With ever growing popularity of social networking sites, Digby has cottoned on to that and included connections to Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. So you can connect to a ton of IM services, plus your social networking websites. It also lets you connect to a number of Email service providers, so you got multi IM, social networking updates and an email previewer/notifier. Updates are provider in popup which looks a lot like Growl notifications on the Mac, again very cool. Take a look at the screenshots for yourself.
DOWNSIDES: No video, audio or chatroom support yet. Although these are going to be coming in future releases. If you can live without those I would suggest giving Digsby a try, i doubt you'll regret it.
I have been running Digsby for a couple of months, no crashes, stable and works well, can't wait for more features to come along, I am hoping for cross service chatroom support that would be cool.
Lastly, I still think Trillian is very good, but I just got bored after using it for years :-) Maybe one day I will switch back.
