Strangely, configuring ...

Jabbisco
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Ah, TechCrunch. Is there anything you can do? Don Reisinger gets it completely wrong in his posting: Cisco announced today that it has acquired Jabber, an open-source IM and presence protocol used by Google Talk and Gizmo, for an undisclosed sum. This is so flawed as to be laughable, and very well sums up the quality ...

• WebMessenger
Friday, September 12th, 2008Another offering in the field of multi-protocol IM clients for the iPhone: Callwave's WebMessenger. This one skews slightly corporate, with support for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Skype, Google Talk, Jabber, and Reuters networks.

• IM+ Raises Security Concerns (Updated)
Friday, August 29th, 2008Following my first look at IM+, I got an interesting email from Scott A. McIntyre, security officer for XS4ALL.

• MobileChat
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Finally, the killer iPhone app. MobileChat is available in the App Store for $2.99, and assuming it works, should be worth every penny. The overwhelming pent-up demand for a real multi-protocol IM application is taking its toll on twenty08's servers right now, but things are expected to normalize in the next ...
