Real-Time Text Over Jabber/XMPP/Google Talk

Posted by timothy on from the no-room-for-oopses dept.

mdrejhon writes "Geeks who miss the UNIX 'talk' days, have a new modern savior: XMPP.org has published the new XEP-0301 Real-Time Text standard, which allows streaming text that is continuously transmitted as it is typed or otherwise composed. It allows conversational use of text, where people interactively converse with each other."

    I do remember the days of real-time text. I don't want it back. I make too many typos and other such mistakes. I'd rather not let others watch me type.
