What is an open protocol?

What are the benefits of open protocols?

Does using an open protocol mean that my conversations can be seen by anyone?

Why should I use an open protocol?

What open protocols are there? Jabber/XMPP, IRC, email

My friends use other networks (how can I make them switch)?

Examples of people who have switched (darco, etc.)

“Advanced” features: setting mood, user tune.

Are there other uses of Jabber?

Where can I get help?
