For those that have way too many IM accounts (I'm up to 10 as of last week), a multi-protocol IM client is essential, but what about when you're stuck at an airport kiosk or internet cafe? Meebo is a great option, but as of today there's a new game in town: Kool IM just launched with a cute little ice cube logo and support for AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Google Talk, ICQ, and Jabber. Like Meebo, Kool IM is Ajax-powered and rolls all of your IM accounts into one contact list. Unlike Meebo, it opens your IMs in a pop-up window (rather than embedding everything in a single browser window or tab), and doesn't feel quite as polished. You can use Kool IM without an account, but registering lets you save and manage your accounts for quicker sign-on.
