good example of a bad idea

The LAST thing we need is another closed IM service.

Everyone already has enough problems with AIM/MSN/YIM/
Jabber/Skype/.Mac not working together.
Not working cross platform, video works but audio doesn't, I can
hear you, but I can't see you - can you see me?

What's needed is for all the IM protocols to sit in a room & work
out how they can co-operate.

Voice on My Space?

What are these people thinking?

With all the "Virtual Slam Books", and 29,000+ sexual offenders, pictures of underage girls posing nearly nude, and a host of other problems, we are now giving free license to cyber-bullies and sexual offenders everywhere to verbally threaten and abuse children.

It seems to me this money could be spent on developing better ways to cope with all the existing problems rather than creating another one.
