[jdev] XMPP and Facebook

[Geof]

Ha, well yes there is a place for political discussions here at times in
technical forums.

That is why I am on this list. Just look at where Eric Schmidt from Google
is today, or at least he was there yesterday I believe, North Korea.

 But yes for sure it has to be within reason and limited in focus/scope.

So after being a very silent member to this list for the past 4 or 5 years,
I will say I remember
very vividly the day I sat down with the director of marketing at facebook
in their at the time
very small corporate offices in Palo Alto and talking about XMPP and using
IM on the fb platform, etc.  I think they might have had a couple of
million registered users at the time. MySpace "owned the world" at the
time.   A lot has changed in XMPP and social networking worlds since then.

And yes, it sure would be useful and cool to add one more level of "unified
communications" into the Social Networking world.
