 Pidjin connects separately to each social network. I think i'll be better
 to unite all social networks together, showing all the contacts on the
 same list.

 Sometimes, I don't care what account they use and just wanna talk to
 somebody. To show the place they are signed from you may put a small icon
 list by their names. i.e. when clicking their name on the list (like in
 skype for example) their name will "expand" taking 2 rows and showing the
 places the contact is connected to.

 Also, it will be nice if Pidgin will be able to distinguish whether both
 contact use Pidgin or not. If yes, then all the features of pidgin will be
 available to them. For instance, today I contacted my friend using the
 XMPP account while the two of us where signed through Pidgin. There came
 the idea that we could use the MSN icons and not the limited icon list of
 GTalk. It should not matter where we are connected from in case both of us
 are using Pidgin. Only if one uses Pidgin and the other is not, there will
 be "limited" features available - accordingly to the account the "non-
 pidgin" contact is using.

 This feature could also allow Pidgin team develop unique features that do
 not appear in other social networks, or that do appear in other programs
 are but are not accessible via Pidgin.

 Hope this will make pidgin better!
