Instant Messaging Service

any pointers?

[sdani]

I need to add IM to my site.. possibly also allow a downloadable client for IM. Any pointers for IM servers? Either Open source or the ones which provide good APIs, so I can develope my own client....

Or.. pointers for IM technology if it makes sense to develope my own IM server.

Thanks

How about Jabber?

Thanks jollymcfats, I have started looking into Jabber and searching for "jabber" and all other combinations on goooogle...

Will let you guys know how it goes.

If this is for customer support I would recommend Absolute Live Support from [xigla.com...]

I've been using it for years and I've very happy with it.
