Dear All
Why not make a UNIFIED system and have these "services" in the back end
without the need to name them.
My email client does not need anyones permission when I add a gmail pop
account to it..
Like what adium does (as one example).
Blackberry Playbook address book was a very nice example of a unified
approach, especially how it merged linkedin with the contact details
with an icon for each service. I think Ubuntu needs to be similar but
with added presence (in the XMPP sense).
If you look at the phone interface, all messages are already UNIFIED
into the UI in one place, so why do you need a separate app to be a twit ?
Stay with the concept of a generic Unified UI front end that handles
all the prettiness and then have modules for each service behind it
and aggregate forward.
Its all going XMPP anyway.
There would be no branding issues if you did that, you just supply login
details to each service you wanted.
Just do not make them all separate named apps.
Presence could then be linked into the contacts details and then its a
simple setting to show users online etc for Skype, SIP, whatever…
I am personally tired of having 7 different messaging apps on my phone
when I could have one unified one that does it all.

I'm not trying to get them made by the community and as it stands they
are core apps which is already a community effort. I'm simply trying
to highlight that there are branding issues with third party services
that need to be addressed.
