REVIEW:
eBuddy Messenger is a free app that will take the turmoil out of keeping connected with your friends, family, and co-workers via all of the most popular instant messaging networks: MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, GTalk, MySpace, ICQ, Hyves, and Facebook.

Set up couldn’t be easier. Just create a new, unique My Buddy account name and login, then enter each of your logins to your other current IM sites. Set them all to auto-login, and you’re all set.

New IM status messages will pop up in your status bar (or set it to vibrate or play a sound), and you can even stay online when you get a phone call.

Switching between chats is painless, and should you wander away from your wifi hotspot or 3G coverage, the app will auto re-connect you. Painless, and easy? It’s possible!

After a few days of use, you’ll quickly find eBuddy Messenger to be one of your most often-used apps. Easily takes the place of four or five additional applications, while offering a suite of features that can’t be beat.
