This talk demonstrates how Jabber is more than an Instant Messaging service; it has potential as a platform for IM-based business services. The session covers Jabber client programming and resources, along with ideas for Jabber-based applications and XML routing. It explores actual projects developed from these ideas, including a WAP cell phone application for chat participation, an intranet application for sales project meeting support, and a stock tracking application for detecting swap opportunities involving several different regional offices.
