The debate was on Facebook IM and XMPP. >From what I understand from this thread, the question was why Facebook did not use XMPP for its IM and what should we do to make XMPP more attractive for these type of companies. Instant Messaging being the most mature part of XMPP, it makes sense to focus on IM in this debate. Regarding pubsub, you can see it as a classical chicken / egg problem: Client or server first ? Without good client support, there is no good incentive to improve on pubsub (and get feedback) and vice versa. That said we have deployed pubsub to large scale as well in a gaming platform. -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/
