it would be great to have another big player. > Why isn't this protocol important to Web communities? I don't have the answer to your question. We have to show the benefits you get from XMPP. If you already have 100 million users then I think federation is not what you are looking for. All this social web networking site have already some kind of build in presence. For them its often easier and faster to write new code based on their existing structures than learning new protocols like XMPP and try to integrate them with existing code. And I don't think we have the server and BOSH component which they can just drop in and scales for 100 million users out of the box. Google started the IM service from scratch, this was a totally different initial situation. We have to work out the advantages you get from XMPP in such scenarios. Case studies and whitepapers could help there. This could be interesting task for the XSF or a working group. Alex -- Alexander Gnauck http://www.ag-software.de xmpp:[email protected]
