When you're away from your home terminal and without your favorite portable cross-service IM application, imo.im can help you get all your messages back into one window again.

Imo.im is a web-based tool to help you log in to multiple messaging and social networks. It currently supports MSN Messenger, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Skype, MySpace, and Facebook. You can log in to one or all of the supported services and access your contact lists. Messaging windows are all displayed within the imo.im site and denoted by service type and the user name of your contact.

In addition to the spartan but effective chat interface, imo.im also has a photo sharing tool and a whiteboard system. Using imo.im requires no special login, you access each account with the login you're already using. Have a web-based chat solution you love? Just tried out imo.im and want to share your opinion? Let's hear about it in the comments.
