Since I wrote this yesterday I’ve learned that the means for doing exists and is spelled XMPP. I first heard of Jabber years ago but didn’t start using it because none of my friends did so there wasn’t much point. Now it feels like I’ve missed out on something really cool and interesting
Operation Catch-Up-On-XMPP starts now!
So far I’ve read skimmed the specs for the extensions Publish-Subscribe and Personal Eventing via Pubsub and they seem very promising to what I want to do.
