i'm sure many startups rely on open-source projects that they don't bother mentioning. while i wouldn't call it nothing, libpurple is just a c library for abstracting IM protocols. there's still a lot of other work to be done to turn that into a fully scaled web service.

A lot of work was invested in libpurple too in order to implement (reliably) all the protocols.

  Not to mention the fact that many of those protocols had to be reverse engineered.
