Jabber se docela šíří, ostatně každý kdo komunikuje přes Google či Facebook používá XMPP. Bohužel i ten jde centralizovat a velcí hráči toho využívají -> Facebook to tak má už od začátku a Google se k tomu před nějakou dobou odhodlal taky.
Ve výsledku to pak vypadá tak, že mám v Pidginu jeden účet pro Facebook, druhý pro Google a potom další dva čistě Jabber účty bez omezení.
Tot otazka a pokud jeste ano, tak jak dlouho jeste? Wikipedia:
"Google Talk used extensions to XMPP for voice/video signaling and peer-to-peer communication. As of August 2012, Google Talk’s implementation differs slightly from the draft XMPP Jingle specifications. In 2012, Google had stated that an update was under way. Since May 2013, support for the XMPP instant messaging protocol is dropped."
"On May 15, 2013, Google’s manager of real-time communication products, Nikhyl Singhal, stated at Google I/O the move to Google+ Hangouts will mean that XMPP (the protocol that allowed Google Talk to interoperate with other vendors and applications) will not be supported in Hangouts. Because Hangouts is slated to replace Google Talk, this signals the eventual end of Google's "open offer to interoperate" IM "forever."[8] As of April 2013, Google had not yet announced the end of life/retirement for Google Talk. Mr. Singhal stated that as long as Google Talk is available, 3rd party client apps could be expected to continue to work."
