I had seen that one last night but didn't think too much of it since a
Jabber implementation was on the way anyways. I think I'll give it a
try tomorrow night, Thursday being a holiday.

I also think we should be developing a separate layer of inbuilt
protocol implementations for Jabber since there are so many chat
services using the same. That way users can straightaway choose GTalk,
AIM, Facebook (whenever it's ready), etc and get on with it.
