Other chat services in Messages?

[mtmjr90]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a possibility of MSFT adding other chat services to the Messages app integration. Personally, I don't use Live Messenger (I use Google Talk).

I have a Facebook account, but I don't really like to chat via FB. I really like the thread concept, but as it stands, it's sort of useless to me. I guess my question is, has MSFT said anything about this (one way or the other)? Thanks!

MSFT has not expressed adding Gtalk. I use IM+, which I only use for Gtalk, and works very well. I think it starts to slow down when you add multiple service, especially skype.
