I think that's different, because we are a quite good Facebook chat client.  We're not bad at Twitter, but I'd rather keep the Twitter app open separately, which probably says something.

In all seriousness, I do like this suggestion, at least on first blush. Here's a suggested reorganization:

Instant Messaging
AOL Instant Messeger
Google Talk
ICQ
Jabber (XMPP)
MSN Messenger
MobileMe
Yahoo! Messenger

Social Networking
Facebook
LiveJournal
MyspaceIM
StatusNet
Twitter

Corporate
Lotus Sametime
Novell GroupWise

Regional
Gadu-Gadu
Yahoo! Japan

Other
Bonjour
SIP / SIMPLE
