- wl 12y agoDesktop XMPP clients can no longer be used to chat on FB. That matters to me.
- jacquesm 12y agoIt matters in two ways: it further fragments the space (having one unified way to communicate with multiple services from multiple vendors especially such large ones is showing strong support for that unified way) and it limits access to the service through existing clients which will piss off a small but vocal (and likely early adopter so early leaver) section of the audience.
