Jabber http://www.linuxinfusion.com/taxonomy/term/24/atom/feed 2007-01-15T21:03:27-08:00 Jabber: The Under-Appreciated Instant Messaging System http://www.linuxinfusion.com/jabber-under-appreciated-instant-messaging-system 2006-08-17T21:16:14-07:00 2007-01-15T21:03:27-08:00 Moparx It really is a shame that Jabber is not as widely accepted as the major (proprietary) instant messaging services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo.

Considering Jabber is an open platform that is a secure, ad-free, and bloat free alternative to the other services you would think that more people would adopt and use it. Alas, it has become increasingly apparent to me over the years that the only people who seem to truly use and respect Jabber are my fellow *nix users and techies.
