Facebook had their XMPP federating. Google had XMPP federating. Even fucking Livejournal had a federating XMPP messaging integrated right into their whiny blogging shit.

Today, XMPP is a relic used only by a bunch of stubborn nerds. Just like IRC is.
Yes, I know that certain companies like Grindr use XMPP internally, but they might be using just about anything else since they don't federate.
