I agree with your point. I had to do some digging to get more concrete information.
When a friend’s link from YouTube or flickr arrives, your messaging client should be able to show the video or photos near or as part of the message, rather than rudely kicking you over to a separate browser tab. Notifications from computers and mailing lists should be organized for you, not clutter your Inbox or require tedious manual filter setup. It should be easy to smoothly integrate new web services into your conversation viewer entirely using open web technologies.
I read that far too, but it wasn't very compelling. Getting videos in my IM instead of clicking on a link is revolutionary? They may proove me wrong, but it didn't make me want to download it.
