Isn't that just IRC
Nope, because you cannot connect with accounts from a different network.
XMPP is pretty much federated without advertising it as being federated. This is just how it works.
Remember when gchat was XMPP then Google fucked that right up?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I loved Trillian for being a messaging app that just integrated gchat, msn, ICQ, etc. I miss a unified messenger so much. I think it died when SMS became mainstream.
Pidgin?
That was my choice. I still have my purple config files with my chat history. Pointless now, but whatever.
I had ICQ, Aim, gchat, and yahoo all in one client. Those were the days.
Beeper?
Remember when Facebook had an XMPP bridge to their messenger?
Good to know, thanks
