Jabber has been around for some time now, and i think we even had a topic like this in the past befor but i whonted to restart one since i am geting back in to using jabber and geting away from the evils of MSN.
For thous who do not know Jabber is an IM client like MSN or AOL but better . Also it is decretialzied so there are many servers witch can talk to each other. This means alot less failurs with messages and it is not in the control of AOL or MSN.
Any how the point of this to let every one post there jabber acounts and say that if you whont a jabber acount @compsci.ca or @hackerdan.com pm with the name, the domain and the password you whont and i will set it up.
Any how i will start by listing my jabber account:

Actually Jabber is an IM network and works with many IM clients.
If you have a @gmail account, then you already have a Jabber account via Google's premium servers. Log in through GTalk or specify the location
Connect Server: talk.google.com
Port: 5222
This way you can also recieve messages directly from that gmail's chat window.
Personally I use Adium (requires OS X) and it can comine multiple contacts into one - meaning to say I have all of Dan's 5 different addresses listed under a single name. Great for organizational purposes.
I can be reached on Jabber via my @gmail account. (more often and more reliably than over msn at that) |

The problem is that not everyone is going to be using Jabber. Think what you will about MSN, but it's highly unlikely that you'll be converting the majority of your friends to Jabber.
Now if somebody could clear this up for me... I have a Jabber account on a University server. Am I supposed to be able to use that account to communicate with people on other Jabber servers (GTalk, for example)? |

Yes, I know. That's why I still use both, but given the choice - I would prefer you to message me over the Jabber protocol than over MSN.

Indeed. Last night my GTalk Jabber was talking to Dan's @compsci.ca Jabber account (apparently we can set up a Jabber server on Dreamhost). Think of your "server" as your access point, the rest of the network is distributed.
That being said - communication between University based Jabber accounts never leaves the campus grounds, and as such is incredibly fast, reliable, and secure(er). Though the protocol still allows you to talk to anyone connected via any other server. |
