“groovy mother...”

BBC Radio experiment with XMPP for radio “Now Playing” information dispersal.

You can now log into your AIM or ICQ account using Jabber. They’re not yet doing server-to-server, but it’s surely just a matter of time.

Good summary of why Jabber is awesome and the future of IM. I have to admit, I didn’t “get it” until I installed my own XMPP server and was able to hack up a bot in Python with about 20 lines of code.

OpenID server which uses Jabber for authentication. Give your Jabber ID and a temporary token, and it will IM you and ask for your permission to login. Very clever.

Yowsers! A Firefox extension that enables simple asynchronous webapps, using Jabber’s XMPP prototcol. If this gets legs, it could be the birth of some wicked cool stuff.
