Excellent points - and disappointing that Facebook as not leveraged this opportunity more decisively.
Happy birthday Facebook Jabber/XMPP chat vaporware
A year ago this day, Facebook announced ”Right now we’re building a Jabber/XMPP interface for Facebook Chat. In the near future, users will be able to use Jabber/XMPP-based chat applications to connect to Facebook Chat“. The news has been greeted positively in various places everywhere.
A year later, strictly nothing happened, and that silence has not gone unnoticed. Facebook has not even issued the slightest announcement, except a wishlist bug report comment by Charlie Cheever mentioning that “some people are working on this. It will probably be done in a few months. Sorry the timeline isn’t more clear“.
Wow, so its been a year? I thought they had already implemented it. I remember I was excited to see this happen when announced. I guess we'll have to wait "a few months" to see this happen.
