This is great from a couple of standpoints. First, I really like the idea of Jabber — local IM servers like you have local email servers, but I’ve never been *that* excited enough to run a separate client along with Trillian, which handled everything else. Now that it’s integrated, it’s fantastic.
But the biggest thing is that ALL JABBER CLIENTS SUCK, so this news is fantastic from that view. Finally now Jabber has a client that it deserves.
Have to agree, been trying out various clients the past six months, none of them especially charming. Haven’t been using Trillian for nearly two years but liked it a lot back then and will definately give it a try. I’ll keep you posted.
