Why should I want to use another protocol?īecause you will need it, eventually. Wikipedia to the rescue! My short suggestions: Use Pidgin (Windows, Linux, BSD) or Adium (MacOS X). Let me try to convince you to create a Jabber account. However, game theory shows us that “superior product” does not imply “market dominance”. Jabber/XMPP is clearly superior to ICQ for a many reasons.
I do not want to make any boring, technical comparisons between the two protocols. Most of them are still regular users of ICQ, despite of all its shortcomings. If you want to give it a try on your desktop, head to the client page to find a client for your OS of choice.Almost every person I know has an IM account. Jabber is SPOnG's IM of choice, and we love it. However, if you're desperate to enter the realm of "messaging claw hand" (msg clw hnd?), you can grab the first 'proper' IM client for the PSP here. Trying to quickly tap out witty IM responses is sure to make those squinty, hunch-backed commuters and loitering kids look like touch typists, as they rattle out their SMS txt msgs.Ī working Jabber client for firmware V2.0 is also underway as we type. One thing that is clear from this is that, as you'd expect, entering messages will be a right royal pain in the arse.
One thing is for sure if the client works on one Jabber server, it should work on them all. The PSP client has been "probed" by the servers, and, though we're not quite sure why this is a good thing. It's also the technology used behind Google's GTalk chat client. This means you can use a single chat client to sign in to all of your other messaging accounts. PSPupdates reports that a version of the wonderful Jabber client has just been released for Sony's PSP, albeit via the rabid homebrew scene the console tolerates and currently only working on firmware Version 1.5Īs you probably know, Jabber is an open source instant messaging protocol, which also provides gateways to other instant messenger systems such as those from AOL/Yahoo!, Microsoft and ICQ.
