An enlightening post over at Elastic Vapor on Google’s XMPP-based, Open Communication network. Very cool stuff.

    That's all well and good, right up until you start getting messages like this:

    <error code=”500″ type=”wait”>
    <resource-constraint xmlns=”urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas”/>
    <text xmlns=”urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas”>Over maximum subscriptions per day</text>
    </error>

    Using XMPP for cloud computing isn't a bad idea (plenty of us have been actually working on this already). Repurposing Google Talk specifically isn't.
