Chat client running on Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime)

A couple of months back, Adobe had released a Runtime that is meant for the 2.0 web. As per Adobe, Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that allows web application developers to use their existing web development skills (HTML, Javascript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
Based on this runtime, people are coming out with tools to run of the runtime. So, you now have the Airtalk messenger (download from here). What all can this chat client do ? Well, AirTalkr is a multi-protocol Instant Messenger that connects to MSN, Yahoo!, GTalk, AOL and ICQ. Not only that, it also has connects to to various Web 2.0 services like Flickr and YouTube. On top of chatting with your friends, you can watch and search photos from flickr and videos from YouTube without leaving your desktop. You can view each of your buddies AirCard, a profiling system in AirTalkr that gathers your buddies profile from the web!
And there is also a Web Version available in case you do not want to download anything to your machine (available at this link)
