Adium is, IMHO, the best multi-protocol IM client for the Mac. It should be a UB as well.

Proteus has a beta that will at least work in Rosetta.....

EDIT: regarding that meebo.com ...

1) What does it mean for something to be "Web 2.0"?

2) It sounds interesting...I dunno. There's just something I don't like about entering my AIM, Yahoo, and MSN passwords into a third-party web interface...

I agree. I've been using Proteus for a long time, and it's one of the few shareware programs I've purchased (it's free now though). They're supposed to have a real Universal Binary out reasonably soon.
