It is all about presence. Couple that with offline message retrieval (XEP-0013) and filetransfers (XEP-0096)<br>In theroy, a blog could also have a XMPP account. It could "message" its subscribers. if the server supported it, the server could send one message to a lot of folks. <br><br>My understanding is that it handles meta data well. I have never heard of it being use like this, but I think it could work. Couple it with a completely different GUI than most normal IM clients and you would be in business! <br><br>Best of all, the hard part is already done! There are already xmpp servers running. <br>There would still be a lot of work to get what you want, but I feel that your main thing is the push protocol, and XMPP gets that done.DuckofDeath87Sat, 24 May 2008 02:05:02 -0000
