More Than Just Jabber
"[Q] How has Jabber been extended beyond the traditional Instant Messaging/chat-type functionality?
[A] We have built extensions to the RSS (Rich Site Summary) XML format. There are thousands of sites out there now publishing headlines and little news stories in RSS—SlashDot, CNN, and various others. Using a Jabber client, you can tell this RSS agent to track certain sites for you, and it will automatically send you the headlines as soon as it sees them."
