Our Twitter gateway service for XMPP, Tweet.IM has been updated.

In part I we focused on learning the basic of the exmpp API.

In this second part we start to think about how one can use the the learned API to write and deploying XMPP components.

The source code for this article can be downloaded from web_status.tar.gz.

ProcessOne has released the second beta of ejabberd 2.1.0.

ejabberd has gained a STUN server, helping Jingle communications.

Introducing EXMPP

In this series of articles we will introduce exmpp, the long awaited high-performance XMPP library for erlang, released by ProcessOne weeks ago. While doing so, we will learn how to use the library to build a highly scalable XMPP bot. As a library, exmpp is oriented towards high performance and low memory usage, while being general enough to be useful in different scenarios (clients, servers, components).

In this first installment we will learn the basis of exmpp, and start with our bot implementation.

The first beta of the upcoming ejabberd-2.1.0 is available. Source tarball
and binary installers (32 and 64 bits) for Mac, Linux ans Windows can
be downloaded here:

PubSub, the short name for "Publish-Subscribe", is an XMPP technology, bringing instant or "real-time" publication, notification and distribution of content to the internet.

For those who have not noticed yet, we have a patch available for preliminary support of roster versioning.

Microsoft OCS (Office Communications Server) is an Instant messaging platform that is largely deployed in the enterprise. We have developed a bridge that allows ejabberd to federate seamlessly with Microsoft OCS servers.
