All I can say about this is: oh god, even more bloating. And why are they both emphasizing on emoticons????????? This sounds like even more crappy emoticons with unlimited filesizes, framesizes etc... Tbh, yes, great for both communities. But a nightmare for the serious older IM'er as this will mean for sure more """fun""" features so it is "compatible" with each other...
EDIT: @KeyStorm: lol, yeah I know, sorry... but mark my words
