With the established base in MSN and AIM I don't have alot of contacts for text chat in Google. Now when the index and archive you chats so you can search them - that would be killer. On the voice front, I also am really fragmented Vonage as a home phone plus iChat, Skype and Gizmo to talk to people. On the PC side I have gone to Trillian as a client so I can be connected to all of the text chats from one place.
