Joe Hildebrand on Jabber NewsEmail This EntryPrint This Entry
Posted by Stowe Boyd

I spoke with Joe Hildebrand, Jabber's CTO, about the recent press releases from the company: today's news regarding an integration of Jabber technology with Webex, and last week's announcement around an XMPP/SIMPLE gateway.

The biggest take aways:

  • Jabber's integration with Webex technology represents another turn of the wheel on the inevitable integration between traditional text based (and soon video and audio based) IM and full-up web conferencing. There will be no hard distinction in thvery near future between these two modalities.
  • Jabber's push into integration with enterprise applications -- like the Foreign Exchange traders example mentioned in the linked case study (see here) -- is an enormously important area of infrastructure, and the Jabber Forms protocol is a big step forward.
  • The XMPP/SIMPLE gateway represents the awareness by Jabber that it is a multi-protocol world, and stonewalling by saying that XMPP is "better" doesn't help customers. Instead, simply providing the gateway sidesteps the issue, and lets customers make headway until technical standards converge on something, some time.

Fantastic at numerous levels, Stowe... nice one! Very important announcement, highly valuable blog entry, extremely timely interview, very interesting and right-length interview, and wicked 'rendering' of that interview in-line in your blog, leveraging the very technology you're talking about... beat that! Awesome!

Hey-- do NOT let this go to your head, dammit.... ;-)

Good interview, Stowe. The trend of integration of collaboration products will continue followed by consolidation of the collaboration companies w/ one another as well as with larger software companies looking to have or enhance their offerings.

The ownership of presence is good card that the IM players have as this continues. But I don't know if it's enough.

Most people don't realize that Jabber is for more than just presence and IM, as eluded to by Joe's workflow example. If the companies like Jabber, Inc. can get momentum in more than just the IM space (EAI, virtual workspaces, application collaboration) then I think they might be able to maintain leverage through the coming consolidation.

My 2 cents
