Instant Messaging

I have been on an instant messaging (IM) kick lately as I have an interest in writing code that can send messages to IM clients.  This is a result of the environment that I work in because getting time sensitive information in real-time in addition e-mail or RSS feeds would be beneficial.  Here is some interesting information:

• Wikipedia Instant Messaging - The Wikipedia breakdown of instant messaging.
• Instant Messaging in Java Made Easy: The Smack API - The Smack API which allows one to programmatically talk in the IM space.

With the information above in mind, having a network of Trillian clients, and using the Smack API, I could very easily accomplish this task.
