I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but Zeitgeist seems like the
sort of thing that might be intended to, for example, link chat
conversations, emails, IRC logs, weblog posts, tweets, etc. together
into a timeline.  That would allow me, for example, to show every
event that occurred connected to a specific person and answer
questions like: "Did I send you that file over AIM or email?" "You
gave me your address, but I forgot what medium you gave it to me
in..."

Is that the case?  It wasn't very clear from the website.  (If not,
please ignore me :) )

If so, it seems like a good place to start might be Kopete -- they
have a plugin system (with a History plugin already implemented), and
they already link IM contacts to entries in the KDE address book.  I
suspect it would be very easy to write a Zeitgeist Kopete plugin that
collects and logs all this information.

Other programs to look at might be Choqok (the Twitter client), KMail,
or Konversation (IRC).
