LiveJournal, live chats: the Jabber integration
-
-
From the buzz point of view, Jabber isn’t as popular as Linux. But the IM platform, that for instance brought out the XMPP protocol, is doing well too. Lately, the LiveJournal community site is about to provide a Jabber plugin, noticed Niall Kennedy.
LJ members, who warmly welcomed the announcement, will just have to introduce their usual username and password to log in. But as most of first brewed development, voice features are missing or put into the next development round.
Currently, the plugin will allow bloggers to immediately warn chatters about their new posts. And blogging while chatting is possible, although the feature has been introduced for a while by Blogger.
Technically, the LiveJournal is an open source blogging platform, so the adoption of Jabber as a IM framework is obvious, and that about interoperability, Brad Fitzpatrick, LJ developing team member, wrote: “No, we won’t be running transports for AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN/etc. If they want to play nice, they can support Jabber/XMPP.”
But “yes, we’ll be federating. you’ll be able to talk to GMail/Gtalk users, jabber.org users, etc. Anybody else using Jabber will just work, without special business relationships, just like email works.”
