Definitely not bad :) (ok, great... ;)

Here are my points though what would need to be changed

1) While it's OK that GTalk, LJTalk and a few others are the most
popular, we should put there some list for not-just-jabber services,
for the sake of correctness and a quick scroll-up (like a html
<select> with a height of 10 rows or such), or at least some link.

2) I think that the country of residence does not matter that much for
a lot of users, however, general opinion, number of users (like:
there's definitely more life on conference.jabber.ru than our MUC
server :) could count much more...

3) Client nodes would also need some "social processing tools" (it's a
research buzzword: rating, commenting, tagging, implicated measures
like numbers of download, trust network, etc; shows the relevance,
popularity of the client for example)

4) Generally, filtering interface should be improved, although kept
simple - this will be a serious task. I mean, I'd need a (theoretical)
jabber client which handles avatars, voice, and video on OS X, and I
want it to select this out AJAX-style (realtime filtered list).

(I can help with the JS part)

5) We should filter out the features which does count; probably we
should also note incompatibilities (Gizmo can't talk with Neos MT,
since the first is SIP, the other is H.323 on voice etc)

The last point will need a lot of work; I think we don't have
resources for a marketing research (what people DO need), but we'll
have to refine this iteratively (could those stats be public?:)

Anyway, it's a good start, congratulations! :)
