eBuddy is a web-based messenger service that allows you to chat with your MSN, Yahoo and AIM contacts on one page. They also have a mobile browser for accessing your contacts on your mobile. eBuddy doesn’t require any downloads, so you can easily get to your contacts on other computers.

eBuddy’s web-based messenger is really simple and easy to use. All you have to do is go to their home page and sign-in with each of your IM clients. They don’t even ask you to sign-up for an eBuddy account.
Once you sign-in to your IM client, MSN, Yahoo or AIM, you can start chatting like normal. eBuddy opens your IM clients in new windows without giving you the option to keep them all on one page, like Meebo. Some people might like this and some people might not.
eBuddy’s mobile version allows you to choose between using their mobile browser or downloading an application. Each version works fine, but the downloaded app has a richer interface and has better features like group chat.
