Pidgin Embedded Video - Linux Mint 8

http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-embeddedvideo/

Pidgin Embedded Video is a GTK plugin for the popular instant messaging client Pidgin. The purpose of this plugin is to provide a faster way to watch videos while chatting with your friends. No more additional browser windows! It transforms a simple conversation into a much more attractive and interesting experience. Sharing links to videos and watching them was never such a pleasant activity in Pidgin. Take a quick look!

Features

The plugin automatically inserts the video pointed to into the conversation when an appropriate link is sent or received.
Every video has a toggle button which allows you to show or hide the video.
The default behaviour for a new video link is customizable from the "Configure Plugin" menu. You can choose whether to show the video instantly or to hide it by default.
Supported video sites are CollegeHumor, Dailymotion, Google Video, Metacafe, MySpace Video, Trilulilu (all the stuff: audio, images and video), Vimeo, Yahoo! Video and Youtube.
It works with the Ubuntu version of Pidgin. It should work on every Linux distribution as far as the requirements are met.

I find the skype plugin for pidgin even more useful. Lets you have your chat logs as plain text, in other words grep-able ;)
