Cool application. So i don't need to register to a transport and offer my password when I just want to talk to someone on a forign network. Really useful to people who don't talk to identities on other networks that often. <div>On 8/14/06, Alexey Nezhdanov <<a href="mailto:snake@penza-gsm.ru">snake@penza-gsm.ru</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Re-post. Previous one had broken "To" address :( Sorry for inconvenience. --------------- Hello. I'd like to make some sort of announcement here, hoping it is ok to post such things on jdev. I am participating for some time already in SNIMMER project. This project makes heavy use of jabber to let users of separated IM networks chat with each other by using some mediator that will transparently transcode messages forth and back. As you understand - the idea is very much like jabber transports with the exception that user of such transport is not neccessary jabber user. I think you can get the idea by looking at this page: <a href="http://www.snimmer.com/">http://www.snimmer.com/</a> - you can type in any pair of IM contacts (say, yahoo and MSN) and it will interconnect them. That part of the project is intended to go opensource in nearest future (after it will go beta, currently it is expected to be within one month). Another idea of the same application is to let webmasters chat with website visitors. Technically that differs from first part only by the fact that one of sides of the conversation is not typed in by anybody but is auto-generated and auto-connected by the script that assotiated with some particular url.
