i am just wondering if someone expenses thoughts on an interplanetary IM
system, similar to the interplanetary Mail system:
    

Isn't "instant" messaging fundamentally incompatible with 30 minute
round-trip times?
  
:-)

Fundamentally spoken, i think the message itself doesn't get old from A to B (it travels at almost lightspeed). And once arrived the message will be delivered immediately and instantaneously to it's target, contrary to Mail; Mail is stored in a mailbox by default. Presence is an interesting scenario, too. Of course the presence informations would be delayed by 5 minutes for my little venus express, but i could see if my service inside that planet probe is online or not ... I think XMPP is really interesting for it's XML nature. If only the tags weren't so long, these produce a massive overhead.


Cheers,
