Hey Hank. There's a couple of apps that I know that will let you do what you want. The first is called Adium. I can't remember the website so just do a google search and that should be the first result. The second app you can get free from the Mac App Store is called Trillian. I like this app because not only does it read when people go online and offline, but will also read your contacts' news feeds automatically. The only thing is it requires an app called Growl to read these notifications since the last time Trillian was updated was some time in 2012, before Mountain Lion and its notification center came out. Also, because most apps nowadays except for the app mentioned above use the notification center, I don't think Growl is even still in the App Store. If I'm wrong, someone correct me, and if Growl still is there and you decide to go the Trillian route Hank, email me on or off list and I'll try to help you the best I can.
