With the demise of Messenger impending, I thought that this would be a great time and opportunity to try and push an open chat alternative to people still using WLM. I'd rather not go from one closed protocol to another, especially since 3rd party client support for Skype is worse and the official client leaves a lot to be desired.

XMPP/Jabber is nice, but even many of my tech-savvy friends haven't ever even heard of it and trying to explain the decentralized concept can be a bit difficult. Because of reasons like these, I decided to whip up a quick tutorial/advertisement site about XMPP.

Any suggestions, criticisms and comments about the contents, design (which is not my strong suit - I think that bathroom tile background needs to go) and anything else would be welcome. I'm not sure how to promote this, but I think that posting it to reddit would be a start.
