I have too many IM accounts (at least one on each of ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, and MSN). For a short time now (thanks to Jonathan Wall) I have been using Trillian (from http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/) as my integrated IM client, and it works really well (so well that I paid the $25 for the Pro copy within minutes of installing it).
But it gets better. Trillian supports plugins, and there is a blog plugin (actually, it is called the “news” plugin) available. Just specify the blogs you want to monitor, and the posts show up in the Trillian interface. Trillian will even popup a notification to let you know when specific feeds have been updated. This one is highly recommended.
