Windows Live Messenger

Multiple services, one account:
Talk to Yahoo! friends from within Messenger—and sign up friends from Facebook, Bebo, hi5, Tagged, and LinkedIn to be Messenger contacts.

Video chat:
Why just text chat when you can see and hear your favorite people? See friends and family in full-screen, real-time chat. (Both parties need a microphone, speakers or a headset, a webcam, and broadband access.)
