Comment (by deryni):

 Preferring one service over another is not helped at all by the protocol
 icons, at least not in any meaningful way. Don't leave conversation
 windows open all over the place if you like knowing what account you are
 talking to, or if you do check the Send To menu (which is virtually
 identical to looking at the icon only with text instead of icons and with
 more information available, especially when they have more than one
 account on a protocol).

 I have no idea how voice/video stuff has any relevance here at all, if you
 prefer one account/protocol over another you are going to need to check to
 make sure that you are using the right one regardless of any icons, and
 icons only help in a small subset of the possible cases and even in those
 only barely.
