Currently, there's Ovi, Skype, Google talk, Jabber, and SIP. That's great, but can we also have Facebook Chat and AIM?

Solution #1: AIM: install haze

AIM is already available, simply install account-plugin-haze (i think that's the one) and you have AIM integrated, just as you have skype and other instant messaging services.

Solution #2: Provide LibPurple based plugin
Posted on 2009-12-15 22:04 UTC by Craig Woodward.
Provide a plugin that can tap libPurple (used by Pidgin). This would allow connection to most popular IM protocols (YIM, AIM, ICQ, Facebook, etc) without the need for dozens of smaller modules. You may want to consider listing protocols supported for plugins in end-user terminology. (eg haze is the protocol name, but most AIM users don't know that...)
