Firefox & XMPP
By Paul Rouget on Thursday 26 November 2009, 15:34 - shared - Permalink
XMPP (aka Jabber) is a super extensible messaging protocol, supporting Push.
Mickaël Rémond (XMPP hacker, developer of eJabberd) wrote with his team a Firefox extension bringing XMPP to Firefox.
What does it mean?
- you can talk to your Firefox through your IM client (remotely),
- two Firefox can talk (synchronize tabs for example) in real-time :)
Enjoy: OneWeb demonstrates the power of XMPP inside the browser.
It's a proof of concept, imagine how far you can go :)
Feel free to grab the code, it's free!

Well, dont Sameplace (with xmpp4moz) extension do the same thing?
@Romani: xmpp4moz is GPL licensed and this extensions seems to by MPL licensed. So this code is more friendly for companies which want to create closed source applications based on the extension.

Yes, actually SamePlace is an excellent piece of software by an italian developer (Massimiliano Mirra), he's done these modular firefox extensions (xmpp4moz + sameplace) wich basically let you synchronize whatever web page with your peers over XMPP. This is a perfect infrastructure to easily develop distributed games and applications (I remember he had some examples of distributed Chess game, Paint applicacion, synchronized google-map browsing, synchrnized mouse pointer...)
you can find all of these (and a very nice presentation by Bard about XMPP+firefox) in http://www.sameplace.cc/.
this software really rocks, I can tell :D
