TO WLM guys: please, make WLM pluggable!!!!

Now days people are using many different communication platforms.

Messenger, twitter, facebook are all communication platforms we all use, all
with APIs to talk to them.
Why not make WLM pluggable so that I can build my plugin to retrieve my
twitter updates, my facebook updates my windows live updates (those in
home.live.com in Windows Live wave 3) and at the same way I'm able to update
my facebook and flickr status while I update my WLM Personal Message...
Come 'on guys we need more flexibility to write plugins for Messenger. We've
seen quite good stuff for Live Writer, but please, open up messenger!!!
There are many "social clients" out there why not allow developer to make
Messenger "THE social client"?

there's something out there to try to merge all those platforms

Greetings,

Direct Messenger APIs have been tried -- first as a native API (which still exists and is in
use today), then as native Add-Ins (removed), then managed Add-Ins with a sandbox which made
them completely useless (removed), and then at present trying to open up a platform to
connect to IM and presence, which you can find here:
http://dev.live.com/messenger/

One day they'll sort it out.

I don't want APIs
I want a customizable client and to be able to add function to that client
that uses all the public APIs out there.
Isn't it clear that no one will win this 2.0 war but users will use all of
them at the same time?
MS, just make it easier for us to go to the final step!!
