The biggest difference is trust and personalization. You are connected with friends only. Information may come from far away, but they must pass through your friends to reach you, and you must be subscribed to these tags ( http://iss.im/node/11 ). Also, another important difference is that mailing-lists are centralized, while this is as distributed as XMPP itself.
