The Imo Instant Messenger iPad app is the one instant chat service to rule them all. It does better than supporting and bringing chat functions to your iPad from Facebook, Google Talk, Skype, MSN, ICQ/AIM, Yahoo, Jabber, Myspace, Hyves, and Vkontakte. It can combine and synch them all in one vertical field on your screen allowing a quick, simplified view on who is online and ready to talk.
From there, you can easily switch between chats, have them open while you use other apps, switch individual accounts off with a touch, and allow notifications outside the app. I found the chatting itself to be very reliable and quick, no difference in performance if I had used each service directly. For reasons I have yet to understand, Imo does spontaneously forget my saved passwords once in a while before synching in. Not a biggie, but can be annoying when I need to talk or check up on someone in a hurried situation.
The Imo Instant Messenger is free and covers only 2.7 MB with no ads.
