Aol Instant Messenger, and ICQ. notice how COMPLETELY different they all are. if there were standards (and everyone followed them) how would they turn out?
I like AIM, because it's quick, no chat requests or anything like you have on ICQ.
But I also like ICQ because of all the other things it has, such as abilities to send a message when the person is offline, game requests, etc.
I think It is good that there are no standards, because we all have different ideas on how a message client should work. It would be impossible to make everyone happy.
I know there was more I wanted to say, but I forgot it while laughing at Microsoft;=)
