Despite being proprietary, I'd add that the SKYPE API is (counter-intuitively) more accessible to developers looking to rapidly develop working applications - the SKYPE documentation is solid, complete and uncomplicated, and has ample cross-platform support &#38; sample code. I had a working application running against the skype API in Excellent post,
