Tor Messenger will keep your conversations private

Tor has released a beta version of its cross-platform chat program, which will help you keep your conversations away from prying eyes.

Tor Messenger works with a variety of chat services/protocols, including Jabber, IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter and Yahoo. Tor uses Off-the-Record (OTR) protocol to encrypt your IMs.

With this, your IMs pass through Tor's network of volunteer computers for security and anonymity. Chat logging is disabled by default, according to Wired.
