xmpp, social networks and other im’s

Todays, there is lot of services called, in common, “social services”. Can we connect to these services without opening web browser and have instant access to their functionality?

Yes

You just need to choose jabber server that implements so called “transports”. Then register your IM or social network service account and use glu to control it.

I’d like to recommend server jabbim.com server. It is located in The Czech Republic and implements ICQ, MSN, Twitter, Facebook, Gadu-Gadu and more.

Some of these transports can be used even if you have your account on a different server.

If you’d like to try it, just open Transports window, click the Gear button in the top right corner and specify jabbim.com server. The you will get the list of services.

RC1

- fixed: hanging while retrieving transports or services

- fixed: primary contact of metacontact was sometimes wrongly loaded from server storage

- images in chat window loaded in background and much faster

- if the contact is a Blog, avatar is not displayed inline in chat

- services have better avatars
