Facebook Messenger XMPP is going away
Also it is worth mentioning that Google Talk !== Google Hangouts<p>Everyone who uses XMPP/iMessage/Adium to connect to Google Talk is:<p>1) Apparently missing some messages from Hangouts users. Haven't been able to track it down but it's gotten me in trouble with my girlfriend a few times for "ignoring her"<p>2) Your friends see you as "Online" on hangouts and send you messages, which often seem to relate to #1 (you never see them).<p>This has been a nightmare for me over the last 2 years and I can't stand how something as simple and SOLVED as chat protocol has been nuked and replaced with proprietary crap that thinks it's impressive to announce a semantic MAJOR release update that touts "Group Messaging" as a major new innovation (I'm looking at you, Apple).<p>Ok, rant over. Take care my friends and let's just switch everyone to IRC and be done with it.
