Instant Messaging Information Site
Instant messaging has been a hot technology for years, with standardization
activities ongoing now for nearly a decade. But, the fruit of that labor
is starting to pay off as the world begins to converge on interoperable
instant messaging standards. The two popular standards that have
emerged are ▲XMPP and SIMPLE, with XMPP clearly
well in front of SIMPLE in terms of deployment and breadth of client
and server support.
