Just curious, if you were to build an instant message client for the Mac what existing API or service would you use to handle the transfer of messages from one user to another? I am looking for something that can be used in conjunction with objective-c and is compatible with other popular messaging services such as MSN, Yahoo, Aim, gtalk, etc. I don’t want to host the service, but rather connect to existing services and use their “pipes”.
Thanks
There are many Instant messenger protocols out there.
There is a good bet you could find a Java API for which protocol you would like to use like the XMPP Java API.
Or
for C or C++ you could use the libpurple library.
