What It Does

Comoro has integrated support for secure instant messaging (IM) using Openfire, an Open Source implementation of XMPP (aka Jabber). This exciting technology not only allows you to exchange IM with other Comoro subscribers, but can also function as a gateway to legacy IM services such as YIM, AIM, MSN, ICQ, and more. This means that you can use a single client to talk with and monitor presence information for all of your friends on all of those services at once! (You would of course need logins on any or all of those services in order to do so; Openfire functions as a proxy.)

An Openfire login is provided to all premium subscribers. Your Jabber ID (JID) is the same as your userhandle@comoro.net email address. Our system will even buffer up messages to users who aren't logged in, so that they will be delivered as soon as they do log in. For the present, we are also allowing direct P2P file transfers between users through our site via Openfire.

How You Get It

During our Beta period, Openfire access is free! Take it for a test drive today.

You will need to download a free Jabber client for your system; we recommend Spark because it comes from the fine makers of Openfire.
