  1. Re:Solution? by Ilgaz · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft, Yahoo Finally Merge IM Networks

    If you don't have problem with closed source you should try stuff like Tipic.com , Jabber.com messengers.

    They are very nice written stuff but ignored by people saying they (clients) are "closed source". Well, they can't open the source but you know Jabber is an open standard at last.

    Tipic has even open standard based video: http://www.tipic.com/tipicim

    Just if they managed to ship it for OS X... iChat can't be an excuse, it has very simple jabber support. Well, thanks to Apple anyway. They didn't HAVE TO do it.

  2. Re:Which Standard? by Ilgaz · · Score: 1 · on IM On Mobile Phones

    Companies like "Tipic" http://www.tipic.com/ has extensions to compress the standard XMPP protocol.

    If you look for propetioary protocol over GPRS, you sure look for trouble. Even the J2ME stack on some phones creates problem with UDP etc instant messaging.

    How about a single, open standards base that allows any platform to make themselves way cooler than MSN, Yahoo, AOL, or Google.

    Oh wait, that's called XMPP, SIP, and H.232 technologies.

    I've just started using tipichttp://www.tipic.com). I'm liking it a lot. Unfortunately it's windows only. It looks like messenger, so you might want to try using it to ween your friends off of msn.

    Jabber is not only the product of one company but the collective effort of many Open Source developers and companies: Jabber servers are available for linux and , and windows.

    Clients are available for any platform.

    You can choose your preferred server or client and they will work with each other!!

  8. SIMPLE Isn't simple? Try Jabber. by Rynok · · Score: 1, Interesting · on AOL Won't Enable Instant Messaging Interoperability

    Man. I sure wish chefmonkey was around to see this. He was touting how SIMPLE was the answer to the problem of interop only a few weeks ago. And not, AOL's not even going to play along. Guess he'll have to find a new party line.

    From the Jabber from, you have a new push in the IETF, a *working* server-to-server implementation, and multiple competing implementations. (1, 2, 3)

    What is the protocol lacking again? As I recall, there were some security concerns, but these issues are being dealt on, including integrating SASL support into the protocol. So why aren't people using this? There is a lot of momentum behind Jabber right now, and I think it'd be silly if companies didn't at least consider it as a solution.

    If you're curious, you can always Jabber me. My JID is rynok@jabber.com. Add me to your roster and ask me any questions you like. I can't promise I'll have all the answers, but I'll certainly do my best.

    There are 2 I know of: jabberd 1.4.2 and Tipic Instant Messaging Platform.

    Not to mention the massive amount of Jabber clients.
