"Buddy list" is the name that American Online originally gave to the people you chat with regularly using their AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) chat client. Now there are dozens to hundreds of chat clients and chat services, from Adium to Skype to iChat/Messages to Jabber to Google Talk. The people you chat with might be called "friends" or "buddies" or "contacts" but it all means the same thing.
