It seems to me that the evidence is that IM/social integration
is not a<br>
heavily-desired feature, and people have trouble understanding
what that<br>
might even mean. Is that a fair conclusion from the data?<br>
<br>
That doesn't mean people shouldn't do it, necessarily, but it
does mean<br>
that it would need careful defining of use cases and
explanation of<br>
benefits.<br>

From my own experience in various big French organizations, IM
was never used, so it is sure that it is not very popular...
Except in an US society (Delphi, part of General Motors) which
was using Windows messengers with Outlook. I (and all other
people at Delphi) have really appreciated this, because it
allows a complementary communication with email (for some
things that need little and kick answer, IM is the best, and
it is not as disturbing as a phone call, ie you can use it
with someone in a meeting).<br>

that's so true - at avaya, we are using Communicator, which also
integrates nicely with outlook (you can see online status of
addressees when writing emails / sending invites)<br>

So I am quite sure that it could have some success if it is
well integrated in Thunderbird.<br>

yes, and it should probably also run in a stand-alone window? I am
sure this is technically possible without showing the main Tb UI and
without installing a separate executable - would it be hard to pull
off?<br>
<br>
btw facebook chat already runs quite nicely on Tb, so no more
facebook site visits necessary. thank gods!<br>
