Where I work we are also investigating libpurple too but for QQ essentially (Chinese market).
But our architecture is based on PHP so we are using PHurple. So far it's pretty easy.
The only drawback is when something change in the protocol you have to rely on the libpurple team (it's should be fine with the main IM protocol but QQ for instance is a really big black box)
Our development is not live yet so I can't really give you any feedback on the scalability, Hope it will scale better than Jabber gateway.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks or the insight. I am definetely gonna implement QQ for the chinese market... By the way, anyone has accurrate usage statistics for IMs in the world?

Concerning LibPurple, my feeling is that it's is somehow better to create a native C application than using the various wrappers. What do you think?
