It can log into AIM, google talk, and maybe 10 others. It doesn't do voice or video chat, but it's excellent for text. Adium is an excellent mulit-chat-protocol text chat client.

I read that the beta version now does include screen sharing (finally!), but I haven't tried that myself. The main problem is that, since it is multi-platform, of course they invest much more on the Windows version updates, and we Mac users are left behind most of the time. :-( Hi Jessica
