The only reason that keeps me from switching from pidgin to telepathy is that at my company OTR is mandatory for IM. It is the only IM encryption model so far that works across many different platforms and protocols, so most people can stay with their favourite IM client and still communicate safely. Most people, but telepathy users are not in the club.

As mentioned, there is an OTR plugin for pidgin for reference.
