As a Mac user the windows APIs and trillian frameworks don't do much for me, but if there was something Pidgin or Adium could pick up, though, i'd be all over it.

I would like to point out; we build research prototypes at the lab. Part of building prototypes is finding a good place to develop and deploy them. Yahoo Messenger 8.1 for Windows allows you to make conversation plug ins using a nice AJAX/HTML + FLASH framework. Check out the API at developer.yahoo.com, Zync uses the public API. Pidgin and Trillian offer incomplete docs for a plug in c/c++ sdk. This significantly increases the barrier to release, especially when building an app to share web video. With Zync, our choice of platform was determined by a desire to rapidly prototype not by a desire to be closed or proprietary. Thanks for the good props here.
