So last night, I added my 100th contact on Jabber<\/a>! :>> This makes me happy!<\/p>\n

Now, you might think that Jabber is too geeky, too oriented towards random Free Software Fighters, to be really useful for “normal” people. Well this, I believe, is where you are wrong! Jabber is being adopted more and more, GTalk has used it for a while, so if you have a GMail account, you automagically get a Jabber account! And, what’s more, you can get a Jabber client on your GMail homepage! (This is what my mum uses – I don’t know whether she would be able to handle a full blown Jabber client, but GMail’s webclient is perfect for her needs).<\/p>\n

I also think that the general movement from Windows to OSX by the general population could fuel Jabber, especially as one of the more popular clients, Adium<\/a>, as it is based on libpurple<\/a>, supports multiple protocols, including Jabber. This means that OSX users who opt to use Adium can use it for their GMail accounts (Okay, I might be making a bit of a stereotype here, by assuming that all OSX users use GMail, but it’s generally true), as well as their MSN\/AIM\/ICQ\/Whatever accounts in one client!<\/p>\n

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, my JabberID is welpie@jabber.org – just in case you wish to help me on my way to 200! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
