Hello Richard, Yes, good programmers can always do good custom solutions, but that's another story, because the strength of XMPP is interop. See my second point:

Facebook did not build an XMPP server. They build an HTTP chat server and are now trying to build an XMPP wrapper around it. This does not make it an XMPP server. They have special concept for presence (which does not make it really realtime from what I have seen) and we will see once release if it maps well with XMPP (which is not totally sure). -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/
