Few people use G+? That's funny. I'm sure it the fastest growing social network of all time. The second largest at the moment.
Few people use
Google Hangouts. Don't change the subject, just because you were wrong doesn't mean you need to be dishonest, too. There are
at least ten more popular solutions.
Facebook Chat does not actually run an XMPP server internally, but merely presents an XMPP interface to clients.
And what, in your non-factual opinion, is an XMPP server if not an application that presents clients with a standardised interface and the functionality to support that interface? Because, y'know, that's what an XMPP server is. Again, the problem here is that you don't understand what XMPP is.
I suppose what you're
trying to say is that it's not a
complete or
fully compliant implementation of XMPP, in which case you're correct.
This is not helping the attempt to make it a standard at all.
It's okay, they're fixing it. And yes, it is helping.
Facebook Chat is terse when sending updates for new friends, because the negotiation happens outside of XMPP. Future versions of Facebook Chat may be more conformant.
And really, you and Parsifal seem like the same person. Always backing each others wrong ideas up.
It's because we understand computers m8. Don't worry, one day you'll
learn what XMPP is and you can join us cool kids.
