I would be mad if that were hard to do.
How many IM addresses do you have? What are they for?
Almost submitted by clippedwings. But not.
Like most old hands at Internet, I have a bunch of IM accounts: AIM, work AIM, mobile AIM, ICQ, Y!M, Google Talk, LiveJournal Talk, work talk. I did revive my canceled Twitter account, to keep the name, but I should probably rebuild my network so I can if I ever make the in-browser update spooler I want (sort of Jaiku on the client).
Let it be known that I love Jabber. I almost wrote a client for Jabber when I started university (in Java), but it ended up sourceforge abandonware like so many other people's projects. I even started using Pidgin on the laptop because it provides a moderately better Jabber experience than Trillian Pro (best UX but flaky on the protocol) or Pandion (warmed over UX). Optimally someone would put the Google client interface on libpurple (the protocol underpinnings of both Pidgin and Adium), but it's not been done yet.
The notable exception is Windows Live Messenger. Not got one of those. (I do have an Xbox Live account, though, so I almost do.)
No, that is, in fact, not true.
foobar2000 is an awesome music player for Windows. It's something of a pimp-it-yourself fixer-upper, but it's quite nice if you can get it right.
