Jabber is an instant messaging system that allows MIT users to communicate with
one another and Jabber users elsewhere on the Internet. Jabber also supports
creation and joining of chat rooms for group communication. Additionally, many
Jabber clients also offer support for other instant messaging systems such as
AIM (AOL) and YIM (Yahoo). Currently Jabber service is offered as part of a
pilot project. Limited best effort support is provided by the project team and
pilot participants are strongly encouraged to provide feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
