There was that short period of time where most of the big players (Google, Facebook, etc.) had settled on XMPP and it was all interoperable, to some degree at least.
I even remember when Facebook first announced their support thinking "Oh sweet, now I can message all my Facebook friends from my current chat app." And when it launched, I could! But then I realized I didn't really want to.
And it wasn't long before support was dropped. I'm not sure anyone noticed.

For instance the commander of a squad fills out a form about what engagements they had with the enemy every day and often they fill out a form that gets submitted to XMPP and is sent asynchronously up the chain of command.
- vinnymac 3y agoI was surprised to see this mentioned. I was working for a company over a decade ago that saw the military purchase a piece of software from us specifically for its messaging and XMPP based capabilities. We were requested to rewrite chunks of our application just to meet their needs. Makes me wonder if it is still in use somewhere.
