Jabber has passed ICQ

onsdag, oktober 15, 2003

According to jabber.com, the total number of jabber users has passed that of ICQ users. This number includes 'normal' users like you and me, and corporate ones, which number is 4 million.

Corporate users find it easy to use because of it's well documented protocol, using XML. Like other IM's, you can do things like 'instant file-transfer' etc.
Anyone can set up their own server too, making it ideal for a cross-platform home network :-)

Superb! Open standards are rolling in, get on the wagon!
