[edit] bitlbee

Pro
- very well known
- multi-protocol, multi-account
Con
- relies heavily on a command channel with its own commands, rather than IRCisms

Pro
- displays users "real names" on @mentions (also a con: increases verbositude)
- relies heavily on "natural" IRCisms (invite, kick, /msg, etc)
Con
- not a general IM solution. twitter/identica only

Con
- chews the CPU
- uses an irssi window, but otherwise appears unrelated to any interface settings from irssi. (ie, colours, logging, etc, all have to be setup anew)
- is not a general IM solution. twitter/identica only
- twirssi specific solution only.
Pro
- loading full conversations on the fly
- nice colouring of hashtags and @mention names
