Tailem is a program that tails multiple logfiles. How does it work? Well, since pictures are worth a thousand words, here goes:

Ok, so this is not your normal log tailing application. In order to conserve space on the screen, it removes spaces and highlights the differences in words by using a rotating color scheme. The fun thing is it has been taught to get things like user@example.com right as one color but other things like 1.2.3.4 will be highlighted separately. I do not use it constantly, but sometimes when lots of chatter is coming in from various channels and I get tired of flipping windows/termainls/etc I use this to condense it to one terminal I can read and watch the messages scroll by. I hope you enjoy this, and if not, you're free not to. ;-)
