I would go to Jabbers ...

... let them teach me.

First, I will write a couple of introductory words about jabber, then how to quickly start using it, just below how to get to know him, and at the end of the link for the curious. Feel free to scroll if the contents of the next part seem to you known.

Introduction and a couple of reservations


')
Jabber is an instant messaging protocol. Although Jabber is more appropriately called XMPP - an extensible messaging and presence protocol.

It is important to note that XMPP is an open standard (like html, e-mail, etc.) defined in seven, now RFC . That is, starting to use jabber, you are protected from the fact that one fine moment Big Uncle will come and demand money for using his ideas. The development is overseen by the XSF - the XMPP Standard Association (formerly the Jabber Standard Association, JSF 1 ).

Unlike other pagers, jabber looks more like email :


At the same time, Jabber inherited some of the nice features of chat :


But Jabber would not be so interesting without a number of its unique features :

Already want give


It is very likely that you already have a jabber account, and you don’t even know it. Check it out!

Do you have mail on google? your_name@gmail.com
Do you have mail on Yandex? your_nik@ya.ru
Are you registered in LJ? your_nik@livejournal.com 9
Did you install QIP Infium? your_nik@qip.ru

If you answered positively to at least one of the four questions, then pay attention to the addresses after the questions, these are not only email addresses, but also your JIDs , identifiers in the jabber. So you can safely give them to friends.

How to use it?


There are no problems with QIP Infium: you are already using Jabber if you registered during installation. If not, it's easy to catch up .

You could see the Google chat window when you logged into your Google Mail, you can chat from there. There are also separate GTalk client and gadget . And, if the gadget is a web application, then GTalk is only for Windows and Blackberry .

Yandex does not immediately have a web application, but it offers a program to communicate with Ya.Online under Win , and within the framework of the Yandex.Nano project, you can download versions for Mac OS X, Ubuntu and source codes.

Learn without any frills offers to use third-party programs.

And if without revolutions?


You probably already use some kind of internet pager. And you like it so much that you don’t want to change it ... check the list to see if it supports jabber. If it does not support, think about changing the client, no matter how sad it is ... or installing a second one, in parallel, to try.

Most multi-protocol clients (Miranda, Sim-IM, Pidgin) already have support for jabber. And usually in the settings panel, you can specify the server and register on it (yes, in one or two clicks). Only settings are needed ...

NB: some clients understand login as your_nik@jabber.server.im, and some share the JID on your_nik as username and jabber.server.im as login server. Depending on the client, you will need to enter data in one way or another. In order not to repeat many times, I omit the username and password from the field settings, and specify, if necessary, additional specific fields.

QIP :
Server (Login server): qip.ru
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 5223

Yandex [ example ]
Server (Login server): ya.ru
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 5223
Connection server (connection host): xmpp.yandex.ru
Port: 5223
Maintain connection (keepalive): yes

Google [ examples ]
Server (Login server): gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 5223
Connection host (server): talk.google.com
Port: 5223
Maintain connection (keepalive): yes

LiveJournal [ example ]
Server (login server): livejournal.com
Use SSL: No
Port: 5222
Maintain connection (keepalive): yes

Who I want, I do not know ...


You do not like any of the above servers? Do you have any suspicions about the sincerity of the thoughts of the Internet giants? Do you lack “transport” to other networks? Choose any public jabber server by any criterion which you like more: time of continuous work, availability of gateways to other networks, additional functions 10 ... I prepared a few list in the links.

And do not forget to agitate your friends to switch to Jabber;)

Side thoughts, or where next?


The fact that they were interested in Jabber in Tsisk, is already talking about something. But experience shows that Tsisk often tries to either push through its standards into standards, or refine existing standards to fit its needs, with a saw, not a file. In what Jabber can turn into under the guidance of engineers and programmers of Tsiski, after some time we learn from the announcement of new (tele-) presence and collaboration products. Here they want to seriously compete for the field of joint work in the company, which Lotus and AyBiEm are now tucking up.

Now there is little spam in jabber. Ideas are worked out in advance how to protect oneself from it. However, I am afraid that this struggle, like a shield and a sword, is eternal. And the only thing is when jabber gets enough popularity in order to get interested.

Jabber conference rooms have an interesting feature: the logs of some rooms, if configured by the administrator, can be regularly maintained and shared. Usually this is directly written on the site Jabber server. For example, look at the half-dead Volgograd logs .

A bit of humor: j.kvx.ru is the most empty server that I have seen, and jabbus.org is the most full of transports.

Notes


1) September 19, 2008 Jabber, Inc. was purchased by Cisco Systems, Inc. as reported by the note and the press release .
2) No need to go far, a couple of topics about setting up a server with your own hands.
3) The server administrator always decides how far the server is open to the world: will it be closed for communication at all, registration is limited, etc. See examples of private servers .
4) Insecure (no encryption) connection may be prohibited.
5) Google and Yandex (see below) are able to keep a history of correspondence with themselves, regardless of the client (tested on Psi and Pandion). In the Kip stated , but not practically confirmed at all.
UPD: trminator found a communication history in Yandex , which can be read at <your_name> .ya.ru/webchat_history.xml (and off there, if that)!
6) You can install universal JWChat on your server: instructions for Apache2 .
7) For example, in the translate.jrudevels.org service, you can find English-Russian, Russian-English, and a dozen more dictionaries.
8) Connecting an account from another server through the one where you are connected now is also a type of server gateway.
9) In the LJ community ru_jabber, it is noticed that the LJ server does not always behave adequately, so use it with caution.
10) Yandex, for example, has the function of instant notification of incoming mail through a special contact Mail (your_nick @) , you can even chat with it, starting with “help”.
