Isn't XMPP the base of all major chat services? I used my own client (Psi+) for a while with Facebook chat but since I no longer use Facebook I don't know if that still works. Too bad none of them support federation any longer.

Google Talk/Hangouts still uses XMPP and I use that right now.



It is the base until it isn't anymore or they just close it in a way that there's no difference between that and any other proprietary chat software.


That's the problem with completely free code. They are allowed to take it and build proprietary crap with it.
