What about Skype itself?

Facebook chat I would say can be done from the Facebook app and Google Talk is now called Hangouts.... (and is the best of all imo!)

Welcome to the world of "unified communications", with everyone walling off their own garden

I asked about this recently http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056951914 OP and was recommended Gibberbot. Not sure about Skype integration (doubt it) and haven't had a chance to mess around with it yet.

MS bought skype and turned it into ad central and began spying on chat. They wont get ad revenue if you use a third party app so its in their interest not to allow external clients.
