Pardon a moment of bouncing

CommYou is now talking to GTalk and LJTalk. Woot! I've been working towards this for weeks now, on the theory of "this *should* work". Now it does: in my test build, I can participate directly in conversations from IM.

In practice, it was pretty easy to get working once I had all the pieces in place -- Jabber's a nice protocol, and I should now be able to support pretty much any Jabber-based service. (I provide a little UI garnish for Google and LJ, the same way Twitter does, but deep down there's nothing special about them.)

It's always such a relief when a systems integration task *doesn't* turn into a nightmare...
