socialXMPP
As I’ve already mentioned earlier I’ve been thinking about using XMPP for social networking for some time.
I have now started hacking on a web application as a proof of concept. It’s nothing fancy yet (especially not very social), but I think it looks kind of nice already. Current features are: Showing roster, vCards (not all information though) and User Tune (including disco and caps). Things missing: Receiving messages, everything social.
For the social part I will probably have to think a bit about needed features and talk with XSF people about possible XEPs.
As for development I’ve used strophejs (Which is really great. Nearly all problems I’ve had were generic JavaScript not XMPP related, which has to say something about the strophes quality I guess) and Prosody to have a local test server (which is really great too, but I could’ve used PubSub 
).
You can find a screencast here and code here.
