Jabber for Not Yet Techies

Jabber is now used for Google Talk. Google believes that Jabber's XMPP will become the open standard that all instant messaging and VOIP applications will use. Right now, people using Skype and MSN Messenger and other such services cannot talk to users of other such services.

Jabber Inc and Eyeball Networks have announced a partnership to come up with a program for IP (Internet Protocol) telephony that's based on SIP and extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP).

They'll combine the Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP) with Eyeball’s Messenger, Messenger Software Development Kit (SDK), SIP Application Server, and Any-Firewall Server products.

VoIP service providers and application developers can use these for telephone calling applications and services such as guaranteed call completion and improving sound and video quality.

Jingle is a set of standard extensions to XMPP that allows SIP clients and devices, XMPP clients and devices, and traditional telephony devices to communicate with one another.

The Jabber / XMPP server ejabberd has released a new version -- 1.1.2.
