Instant Messenger Client 0.11

Word of the day is that Instant Messaging (IM) is getting highly popular in business. IM has the immediacy of telephone without the interruption, and the convenience of email without the delay. Concerns are that the communication is secure, archived, centrally managed and conforms to internal policies. Gartner research predicts that by the end of 2010, nearly 100% of corporate users with an email account will be IM enabled. Yt? You there?

XMPP (Entensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), also known as Jabber, is the only IETF approved standard for real-time text communication and hence the de facto standard for use in enterprise, goverment and corporate enviroments. Supported by major market players, it is becoming a symbol of convergence and interoperability, for its numerous features, extensions and plugins.
