摘要

A system, method, and computer program product for simultaneous integrated access to multiple instant messaging (IM) servers from multiple IM vendors (102, 202). A particular feature of many specific embodiments is a user interface that maintains separate, distinct branding for each vendor (102, 202), so that a user of the system can see other user names, functions, and other vendor-specific features as clearly associated with a particular IM vendor.
