Pidgin is a chat program that allows you to connect to your accounts on several chat networks at the same time. This means you can chat with friends on XMPP and watch an IRC channel at the same time, or talks on Facebook Messanger.
Pidgin runs on Windows, Linux and other UNIX operating systems. Are you looking for Pidgin for OS X? Try it Adium!
