   Google supported Jabber in Google Talk, and then deprecated it, and then removed it in Google Hangouts: https://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2015/02/google-finally-k...

   wow a 2 month old blog post with a HN comment as a single source? To keep OT: Perhaps they will be soon required to be able to wiretap http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/security/111150/eu-seeks-to-... It will also bring benefits to end users if the client's machines won't become supernodes. And perhaps avoid the problems from last December http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2010/12/understanding-tod...

   We could have done it with XMPP between Facebook and Google, but that never happened due to some reasons: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2015/02/google-finally-ki... http://aaron-kelley.net/blog/2010/02/a-request-for-federatio...

   Speaking of Google, GChat supported XMPP at one point too, and we could have had cross-service federation if all the big companies would have played ball: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2015/02/google-finally-ki... Why not work on pushing an open standard instead of locking users into your proprietary client? I already know the answer (ads and user data collection; see also: G+), it just leaves a bad taste in my…

    Skype uses a peer-to-peer network for the majority of the connections and really only uses servers for authentication and for gateways to other services/networks (such as the regular phone network). A couple of years ago I wrote a brief description of the technology underlying Skype: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2010/11/a-brief-primer-on... (I have no connection to Skype myself, but have worked in the VoIP ind…

    The Mac Skype client was actually quite excellent, too, up through version 2.8. Then Skype jumped the version number to 5.0 and came out with the UI mess that they did. About a year ago I wrote about the issues I had with the 5.x client... and I still have the issue with the lack of multiple windows: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2011/04/my-3-main-issues-...

    No, the outage in 2007 was in August, and had to do with churn of the supernodes related to updates. I wrote about it here: http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2007/08/skype-offers-fu.h...

    Well, there is plenty of friction in the world of telecoms, and its tangent with media - .tel solves many of these problems.
