communications mediums, IRC is a rougue network.. We need
mainstream stuff like jabber... It's very extensible and it's open source.
Single point of failure on all of them. What happens to MSN if nexus.passport.com dies? All of a sudden no-one can login. Same thing goes for the other 2. Jabber is admittedly cool though

You guys seem to forget... there's a billion jabber clients, written for every os... in every language... and it looks just like an Aol instant messenger... Imagine having one that was totally your own.

Am I overly presumptious here? I thought we all wanted some
kick butt congregational tools.
What exactly do you want though? I'm currently working on an MSN lib for PHP and have a Mambo integrated IRC bot (that I can't distribute ), you tell me what you want to be able to do and if it's interesting I might do it.
