It makes sense to standardize the chat clients, but it shouldn't be "whatsapp", it should rather be something like XMPP (jabber) that is open to anyone (gtalk uses it)

This will be the best by far. Then everyone can use the client they like the most and still communicate with others on other clients.

if it requires you to add people with usernames then I aint interested. That is what I love about WhatsApp and now Zing.

The problem is, not everyone have a phone number. But if you can add your phone number to your profile, and it can check against it like Whatsapp, then it would bee very nice.

Would be awesome if One could register a whatsapp account using an email address as well as a cell number, much in the same way iMessage does it now...

The most irritating thing is finding an awesome IM application or sms application but you need your contacts to be on the same one for it to be of any use. I want an app that works across all platforms and which uses similar apps.
