It is REALLY what it is (nothing more)
-----------------------
To me, the Jabber world (known today as XMPP) is an Instant Messaging
platform, which is literally what it is.


Freedom
-------
I will not say Jabber/XMPP is the best, greatest or divine because I can
not quantify best, greatest, divine etc. but I can say that it is an
Instant Messaging platform (with its own extra features of PubSub such
as Activity, Geolocation, Mood, Tune) which, like IRC, is neither locks
us up nor centralized our communications in contradiction to the bad
centralized platforms like ICQ, MSN, YIM etc. thus IRC and XMPP are
better than other Instant Messaging platforms.


Ownership and Independence
--------------------------
Movim (also Jappix and any other open source Jabber/XMPP oriented
project - or any other decentralized project) gives us the ability to
use it, independently and is letting us to utilize it forever without
being dependent on 3rd party networks like ICQ, MSN, YIM, and never
mind what the number of users is (from 2 to 6,000,000,000), this
digital product will stay, if I want it to be, and as such I can have
my own social network, controlled by myself, to be used privately
amongst family members or colleagues of a certain company.


Decentralization
----------------
I care for decentralization and currently I care not to what sort of
shape another Jabber/XMPP project will be brought like, because today
there are plenty of Jabber/XMPP clients from desktop clients such as
MCabber (terminal), Psi, Swift (Qt), Gajim (GTK), Tkabber (Tcl/Tk) etc.
to web clients such as Jappix, JWChat, Speeqe etc.

I can not have the above (federation, decentralization, own control on
privacy, freedom) with ICQ, MSN, YIM.
