Free Services › Chat Service › What is Jabber?

Jabber is an initiative to produce an open source, XML-based instant messaging platform.

Jabber operates differently than other proprietary instant messaging systems and works in a fashion similar to email. It adds a suffix to each address after the "@" sign (for instance user@msn) just like an email addressing system. This enables a Jabber server to read addresses from different messaging systems and know where they can be found.

Now mail2web.com is offering this service free to its users. You can have a chat account which you can use for mail2web.com instant messaging anywhere. There are two ways to use your mail2web.com chat account, with a Jabber client application or our browser-based client.
