Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

When the user is presented with the wizard to create their first account it would be helpful if there was a frame of reference. The first thing the user has to do is choose if they want Jabber or something else. Even among people who use Jabber it is not commonly referred to as Jabber (it's instead branded as their provider's instant messaging service, such as Google Talk).

Empathy should start the wizard with something the user is a bit more likely to recognize. Some suggestions are:

  Google Talk
  Yahoo
  MSN
  AIM
