As I have mentioned before, I believe Jabber/XMPP will be one of the most influential technologies on human communication since the introduction of standard email. I've been thinking lately about ways to encourage my friends to make the switch to Jabber, and I've come up with my solution. As of my birthday this year (May 19th), I'll no longer be using AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, or MSN. The only way you will be able to contact me via IM will be via my jabber id, darco@deepdarc.com*. So if you want to chat with me after this time, you'll need to at least give Jabber a try. Don't worry, it will be the last switch you make. I'm not asking anyone else to switch entirely to Jabber (although that would be great!), I just want most everyone I know to at least use a jabber account as often as they use their AIM, MSN, or YIM accounts. This is made easy by chat clients such as GAIM and Trillian Pro, which are mentioned below. Still a bit in the dark about what the hell I'm talking about? Go here. Jabber Australia's website offers the best description about what jabber is and why it is compelling that I've seen yet. Worth a look.
