Cleartext has been researching, developing and delivering instant messaging solutions since 1999.  David Banes was Chairman of the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) Standards Foundation in 2008 which manages the internets standardised IM protocol and feeds into the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) the global standards body for the internet.

If you’ve used Facebook Chat, Google Talk (GTalk), Cisco IM or many other IM services you’ve been using XMPP under the hood, commonly known as Jabber IM. Read more about XMPP and the services that use it by downloading the following articles by David Banes.
