I spent a lot of time and effort merging my chat clients in the Meebo era and afterwards with XMPP proxies and I tried to keep friends from messaging me in 3 apps at once.

I gave up and that's fine. I have at least 4 messaging apps on my phone and I still prefer that over debugging a proxy. A missed message causes real-world problems, so it's important not to mess with the delicate balance that IM already carries.

If the benefit is easier archival and search, give me a solution to that that works in the background rather than a real-time proxy.
