I mass messages my whole ICQ contact list about switching to jabber, but I could only convince 4 of my ~ 80 contacts to switch to jabber. It will be hard to switch if I lose ~ 70 contacts. Or I could use a transport that would also be possible...

Convincing other people to switch to jabber instead of their current IM is nearly impossibleOnce AOL supports native XMPP communication (what? they're halfway where. @mac.com addresses, OpenID rollout, and more), I'm leaving all IM systems except Jabber.
Besides... http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=dev&d2=assembly&d3=det_aolXmppGateway
They've already taken the first steps.
While I have accounts with all of the major messaging providers, and three of the chat clients I use (Trillian, Meebo, Gaim) allow me to log in with all of them simultaneously, I find that I'm usually only signed in with XMPP. (GTalk and GMail)
Also, if I see that one of my contacts is signed in with multiple providers, I tend to choose XMPP to message them and prefer to be messaged that way.
I already did :)
