I'm currently using skype, gtalk, msn presence awareness (with ovi, facebook,twitter disabled).
Since
* facebook is likely to allow public xmpp access soon
* there are already some tiwtter xmpp gateways
* there is some suggestion XMPP is more efficient
I'm toying with the idea of "consolidating" many of these accounts via XMPP.
I have a free account at xmpp.org.uk, and can configure the MSN transport easily via the "psi" client, but I'm wondering
* what are good/well known transports? Or a different xmpp server
* Can I easily add gtalk transport to the above server to save creating a second xmpp account? (or do I have to just readd contacts individually?)
I'm also thinking
* xmpp won't support audio/video (I think the protocol does -- but what about public servers)
* so will keep skype independent
* The inclusion of the physical gateway rather than just a service alias in the buddy address gets tedious with respect to the merged address book
Anyone else thinking about consolidating down to XMPP?
