Trillian is a nice options, and if you we're using linux then Gaim supports practically everything...
you can find the trillian download here:

or check out a variety of user-submitted software (meaning, it's not commercials) here:

You can use a chat client.
Trillian is very popular for all computers.
ADIUM is a very good client for Macs.
If you have a PC, try using Pidgin.
These allow you to sign in all of your accounts, and message everyone from this one program.

Note: You still have to make an account for each chat system in order to log in.

try trillian, it can definitely access AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo. it cant see google chat but that's a simple program you can run through the internet. meebo.com might work also.

its ok have all of them. but its not good to run them all at the same time. 2 ways close them out. right click on them next to the clock and then exit. or go to run. type in msconfig . then put a dot in the last one then on top click on startup uncheck all the messengers that will stop them from running when windows start. but you can click on icons on your desktop that program will start up. oh after you uncheck them in msconfig click apply then ok. then you have to reboot. after you reboot a box come up say dont show me this again put a dot in it then ok. that is it.

One word, Meebo , lets you log-on to all your messenger accounts and nothing is installed on your system because it is web based.

Try Trillian, it sees all of them (I think).
Google for it.
