“groovy mother...”

I usually don’t much care for FriendFeed, but I have to say that I’m impressed with their implementation of an XMPP bot — especially since the folks at Twitter suggested this week that such a large scale bot is impossible.

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.
