On Habré, they write a lot about the advantages of Jabber over ICQ. I want to cool down the fighters a bit, showing that the networks may well live together and even interact. And at the same time popiarit
new service :)
Many of us were faced with the need to organize an IM conference in ICQ. It is not always easy. The situation is even more complicated if you want to organize a chat with users of different networks, such as ICQ and Google Talk. In our service, we tried to facilitate such communication, and at the same time add some useful features.
The service is called
persistent.im . He helps users in solving such problems:
- device cross-system IM conferences
- access to the history of conferences via the web
- ensuring the continuity of conferences
')

In practice, it looks like this. The user starts an account on persistent.im, then uploads their IM contact lists to the service. After this, you can create a conference from the web at any time by selecting interlocutors from among your friends. Communication in the conference takes place directly in the IM clients of users. Each conference is represented by one bot in the contact list, through which all communication takes place. In addition to the web interface, bots have a simple command line style interface.

So you can have conferences with people from different IM services. All conference participants have access to the conference via the web. The conference itself will live indefinitely as long as there is communication in it, and even for some time (up to 7 days) - after the communication has completely stopped.
The service is free. Supported IM services: AIM / iChat, MSN / Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo !, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk and MySpaceIM.
We will be glad if the service is useful to someone from the readers.
