If you want a human to communicate with multiple networks, I'd go with
Adium as Leo suggests, or Gaim or Trillian depending on your platform.

You can also use Jabber to do this, although the Jabber server I
mostly use loses connectivity to various networks sometimes.

For communicating with users automatically, I've used Bot::Jabberbot
with an account subscribed to an MSN gateway as a quick proof of
concept for writing bots that live on multiple networks.
