    i wish all the big players would agree on one of the many open chat and IM protocols. it’s like kindergarten where the toddlers don’t want to share toys

      Was it really back in 2009 that both Google and Facebook used XMPP compatible chats? Those were the days.

        I was the cool guy with all the chats in one place: Pidgin.

        Facebook had an XMPP client API. It didn’t federate (and wasn’t really true XMPP resulting in many quirks).
