Which Instant Messenger services can some server side code, consume?

Hi folks,

I've got an application which i want to send some alerts information. Currently, it's firing off emails -> works perfectly fine.

I was hoping to intergrate this server application with one/many Instant messenger services, such as MSN Messenger or Google Chat. I'm not sure what my options are, though.

Has anyone any information if this is possible?

Lastly, i need to do this with .NET.

Cheers :)

I think the libpurple library is the most common way to do this. That's what many of the multi-protocol clients like Adium and Pidgin and Meebo use to talk to the actual IM services like Google/jabber, Yahoo, and MSN.

This claims to be libpurple with .NET bindings:

Hi dreeves - that's for the updated post. Um, i'm not sure what i'm suppose to do with all those files and stuff? i mean, i'm suppose to compile em .. but there's no vs2008 proj file, etc. it's like it's made for mono or something? any suggestions?

See also, MSNPSharp, which is strictly focused just on MSN's IM protocol.

sweet :) that's exactly what i was after for the MSN IM Protocol :) Now ... to try and figure out how to use it :(

@Pure.Krome, if you get something simple working, it'd be really useful to post it somewhere. A sort of "Hello, World" of MSNPSharp.

jabber-net is a C# library that lets you send messages over the XMPP protocol (used by Google Talk)
