Re:Tear Down This Wall!

I totally agree with Dave Uhlir's post that the presence industry is just waiting to really take off, once the major players realise that the fighting over many small pies is stupid and it is better to make one big pie.

Singling out Microsoft with their lack of support for XMPP is however unfair. What about Google's support for SIP/SIMPLE? Ever since the launh of Google Talk they have teased us with "SIP support coming soon", along with another pet peeve "we look forward to supporting MAC and Linux".
