Drupal needs new IM module

I've been experimenting with the Drupal IM modules available and they don't seem to be real useful. I don't mean this as a knock to any of the developers. They have done a fine job building and maintaining. The modules do what they are intending, but I think the intention is not where it should be.

Instant messaging is just that: Instant. Requiring an extra logon for an XMPP server or going through extra steps to add friends is defeating the instant abilities. Also, the reliance on an outside server is a step that seems to complicate things. Also, while the ability to send different types of messages such as SMS, email, IM, private, etc. is robust, it actually deters users because it is more complicated. They don't need these features.

For Drupal to really be competitive in social networking, it needs a real IM solution. It needs to consist of 3 things:
1. One block dedicated to listing friends online. Perhaps friendlist could be used? A scroller for navigating long friend lists would be handy, but that could come later.
2. A one-click solution so the user can click on their friend and get a popout chat window opens instantly.
3. Ability to serve multiple users in one chat window for the organic groups to collaborate.

It doesn't seem like it would be extremely hard, though I know it isn't easy either. But if it has 3 functions, and only 3 functions, it will become a must have part of social sites.

Any thoughts on this?
