Do Skype and other chat services support really good features
for keeping thousands of pounds of floppy wet spaghetti in a
fast-flowing river all suitably tagged and parse-able?

Thunderbird now stores chat sessions and archives. It supports Facebook, Google, IRC, Twitter, and XMPP. I don't think there is a good way to store video chat sessions and I don't know about the parseability of any of them. I think email lists are still the best support for parseable archives, provided that the list is managed in a content management system with automatic keyword indexing.
