In my family nobody uses MSN (my sister uses Skype and Gtalk for chat, for example). Only in my workplace it would be a problem…

BTW: Pidgin was just updated…

Google is slowly changing things. Most people in my contact list besides having and MSN account, also have a Gtalk account, which is already a good starting point :)

Right now I have 30 contacts online, all of them using just XMPP.

The thing is that most non-geeks or, let’s say, less tech-savvy users like a lot the custom emoticons (which imho are funny, but 98% of the time hardens readability), and on-the-fly video and audio conversation.

good luck trying convincing them otherwise!
