Call for testing empathy

[Danny Piccirillo]

Here's a great example i just saw on Digg:

(and here's the digg link)
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Gnome_has_Empathy_for_You

Also, i think testing Empathy is a great idea. If it ends up being included
in Ubuntu, i don't see any real problems. Anyone who is so attached to
pidgin will simply install it. New users will be fine and happy with Empathy
and all its benefits.

Either way, we're just testing it! If we don't test it we could be missing
out on something that would be really great.
