| IM compatibility closer to reality - Tech News - CNET.com : The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the group that sets the technical standards for the Internet, gave the go-ahead to the creators of open-source instant-messaging application Jabber to create a working group based on that technology. This will be known as Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). So this joins the IBM-Microsoft promoted SIMPLE. The IETF approved SIMPLE as a proposed standard in September. Then we have AOL announcing that AIM and ICQ will interoperate. The fragmented IM market is coming together slowly, but there's still plenty of room for consolidation and interworking.
