         | > XMPP is the name for the streaming XML protocol that emerged
         | from the Jabber open source community in 1999. When that
         | community submitted the protocol to the Internet Engineering
         | Task Force (IETF) in 2002, it chose to use the name "XMPP"
         | instead of "Jabber" to eliminate the possibility of confusion
         | with the open source community and the commercial Jabber.com
         | company (since acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc.)

       | I started using it recently for encrypted messages and video
       | chat. It works great!
