[edit] Network features

Because Jabber allows gateways to other services, which many servers support, it can also connect to the Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ and .NET Messenger Service networks. Other services available using gateway servers, include RSS and ATOM news feeds, sending SMS messages to cellular networks and weather reports. For more see Jabber.
