Subject: [Braillenote] Info on xmpp
XMPP (Extensible Messaging and
Presence Protocol) is a protocol
based on Extensible Markup Language
(XML) and intended for
instant messaging (IM) and online
presence detection. It
functions between or among servers, and
facilitates
near-real-time operation. The protocol
may eventually allow
Internet users to send instant messages
to anyone else on the
Internet, regardless of differences in
operating systems and
browsers. XMPP is sometimes called the
Jabber protocol, but this
is a technical misnomer. Jabber, an IM
application similar to
ICQ (I Seek You) and others, is based on
XMPP, but there are many
applications besides Jabber that are
supported by XMPP. The IEEE
XMPP working group, a consortium of
engineers and programmers, is
adapting XMPP for use as an Internet
Engineering Task Force
(IETF) technology. In addition, the
Messaging and Presence
Interoperability Consortium (MPIC) is
considering XMPP as an
important interoperability technology.
Eventually, XMPP is
expected to support IM applications with
authentication, access
control, a high measure of privacy,
hop-by-hop encryption,
end-to-end encryption, and compatibility
with other protocols.
IBM and Microsoft are working on a
similar standard called SIP
for Instant Messaging and Presence
Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE)
based on Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP).

My thoughts on this. I am not happy
that Hw are not going the
hole way, and are not implementing
windows live (Formally called
windows live) into ks 8.0, and think it
is a waste of time
integrating it at all. By the sound of
things, not many of us
have google talk or i-google. Enjoy the
info. Cheers, Blake.
