Very (very) vaguely related to this, how do people advertise their
XMPP address? My signature (see below) mentions "IM (Jabber)&quot;, since
I figure more people will know what that means than XMPP.

In the past, I've used various combinations of IM, Jabber, GTalk
and XMPP to identify that my email address is also an IM address,
but is there a recommended way of identifying it as such? I've
never seen people like Google (do any other popular services use
XMPP for public use?) actually identify their service as being
XMPP outside of technical descriptions, so I doubt the term is
widely recognised even by those who might use it. So though XMPP
may be the technically correct term, is it an ideal one?

Looking at recent emails on this list, I can only see one other
person (Tomasz Sterna) who even mentions IM in their signature,
and he lists it as XMPP.

So, assuming you weren't worried about privacy, what terminology
would people recommend?
