Why was that an EEE? It's not like Talk "killed" Jabber. Jabber had very marginal use, it shot up when Jabber support for Talk launched, and then it tanked to the previous levels when Google pulled the plug.

Whatsapp also originally (or maybe still?) used Jabber. The whatsapp protocol was Jabber with binary tokenised XML, iirc.
