I'd trade all this crap for an older version of YIM that didn't crash constantly. (The current version has a buggy network library that crashes when you switch back and forth between networks, something I do frequently as I switch between my client's VPNs)
The good news is that this will finally make it possible for someone to write a decent tightly integrated encryption module. Boggles my mind that all of the major IM clients are still sending plaintext across the network. I'd love to be able to use IM at client sites w/o my conversations ending up in the clients logs.

XM does periodic subscriber surveys that ask you to list your favorite channels.
I don't believe they have a method for actually monitoring what people are listening to.
