XMPP? I'd suggest it's about as federated as email: you have a few giant providers (Google), a few specialty providers (ccc.de), and then some holdouts run their own (resulting in perhaps the worst option for metadata analysis?) But I am far from an XMPP expert. -tom _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
