Re: and Jabber ?

Others did already answer, I will try to give you some other reasons to switch:

- Jabber is already an IETF protocol with official RFCs; look here http://www.jabber.org/protocol/ and here http://www.xmpp.org/
- since jabber is an open protocol it works just like email [on the server side]: everyone can set up its own servers [http://www.jabber.org/network/], with proprietary protocols all your packets are going through AIM/MSN/Yahoo servers and you really don't know what's happening and what they do with your msgs....
- you can setup a private/secure network with friends using SSL
- Apple now supports jabber in his client apps [iChat] and in his server ... more jabber users are coming...

there are more reasons of course... ;-)

ciao
