Is XMPP the 'Next Big Thing' 162
Open Standard Lover writes "XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) has been getting a lot of attention during the last month and it seems that the protocol is finally taking off as a general purpose glue to build distributed web applications. It has been covered that AOL was experimenting with an XMPP gateway for its instant messaging platform. XMPP has been designed since the beginning as an open technology for generalized XML routing. However, the idea of an XMPP application server is taking shape and getting supporters. A recent example shows that ejabberd XMPP server can be used to develop a distributed Twitter-like system."

Could an ejabbered XMMP server really be said to be Twitter-like?
I don't think that Twitter-like systems are the way to go here.
That's really cool, we could really use a Twitter-like enjabered XMMP server here. It will revolutionise computing!
