i guess while i’m blathering on about tinkering with things that i don’t actually have time to tinker with – jabber finally reached v1.0:
“Jabber is an instant messaging System, similar to ICQ or AIM, yet far different. It is open source, absolutely free, simple, fast, extensible, modularized, cross platform, and created with the future in mind. Jabber has been designed from the ground up to serve the needs of the end user, satisfy business demands, and maintain compatibility with other messaging systems.”
