It is, however, a horrifically bad protocol. We don't need a new app, but a better protocol for unified mail, IM and audio/video. XMPP is close, but flawed.

- digikata 12y agoI agree, email as a communications may very well survive forever at the endpoints, but I keep hoping something richer will subsume it.
- leonroy 12y agoI have my own opinions on the subject but curious what you see as XMPPs failings?
- lucian1900 12y agoVery high overhead (largely because of all the XML) and the implicit requirement of a persistent connection. There are other things, like awkward and unevenly supported voice and encryption, but those are higher level concerns. TextSecure's protocol is probably closest to what I'd like to see as a standard.
