You can post messages to %%site.name%% using a [Jabber](http://jabber.org/) client
|
||
|
|
on your computer, mobile phone, or other platform. ([GTalk](http://talk.google.com/),
|
||
|
|
Google's Jabber program, will also work.) This can be a convenient way to keep
|
||
|
|
up with your friends on %%site.name%%.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't already have a Jabber account, you can use GTalk or one of the other
|
||
|
|
[public Jabber services](http://www.jabber.org/im-services). You'll probably also
|
||
|
|
need an IM client like [Pidgin](http://www.pidgin.im/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Managing your IM settings
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the [IM settings](%%action.imsettings%%) page to set your IM preferences. You can add or change your Jabber address and set the flags for Jabber update.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you add or change your address, you'll receive a message from **%%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%%** asking you to confirm the change. (You may need to
|
||
|
|
add %%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%% to your buddy list *before* changing your IM
|
||
|
|
settings; this is definitely true for GTalk.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sending updates
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You send updates by sending messages to %%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%%. Messages
|
||
|
|
should be less than 140 characters; longer messages will be truncated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Commands
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can do some minor management of your account through Jabber. These are the
|
||
|
|
currently-implemented commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **on**: Turn on notifications. You'll receive copies of messages by people
|
||
|
|
you subscribe to.
|
||
|
|
* **off**: Turn off notifications. You'll no longer receive Jabber
|
||
|
|
notifications.
