Whatever happened to JABBER ? Posted by Cliff on Sunday July 4, 1999 @06:40PM from the where-are-they-now? dept. Another member of clan AC wonders: "Whatever happened to JABBER, The Open Source ICQ replacement, such a good idea, why did it never reach fruition?"
Check out www.jabber.org. It's supposed to allow a way to communicate with people via a number of protocols (AIM, ICQ, etc) without you having to keep an AIM client open, an ICQ client open, an IRC client open.. etc..
