Jabber + Google Maps = World of Jabber
Jun 27th
You probably remember the Jabber World Map by Ralph Meijer. The problem there was, crowded areas were difficult to decode.
During my morning tour of Websites and RSS feeds, I have found a post on Jabberforum.org by Sublime Porte about a new Jabber World Map. The post can be found here.
This Map is based on Google Maps, and uses your vCard profile feeds to get the location. He says that in future he wants to use the XEPs XEP-0080 and XEP-0154 for the user location. This might be a project to keep an close eye on 
To use it, simply add geolocator@jabbering.org to your Jabber Roster. A few minutes later, you’ll find yourself on the Map.
Update: I was just told, that it is based on SleekXMPP.
Jabberforum.org – Mailinglists 2.0
May 9th
It’s official. Jabberforum.org has replaced the old forums on Jabber.org. Besides running a real forum software, it has a lot of nice features.
Social Groups: Social groups are communities on the forum, where members can post some pictures and post messages. A bit like Jaiku Channels, just with pictures and without SMS.
Thats fun, but there’s more!
The coolest feature we just installed is: Mailinglist integration! You can now read all posts from the mailinglists via the forum, and also reply to them via the forum! We currently have set up 3 lists, Jadmin / Jdev and Juser, but we’ll add more soon.
I showed this to stpeter, who is mainly hanging out on Mailinglists, and isn’t really familiar with Forums, but even he said:
[00:08:28] <stpeter> niiiiiice!
This means something 
So join the 21st century, join Jabberforum.org
