Yes, I use openfire with OneSocialWeb, but the project isnt super
active right now.

It is quite heavyweight (maybe the web console even requires tomcat im
not sure), should be no issue using a smaller footprint daemon,
hopefully they are interoperate.

Makes sense to add a social extension to XMPP.  Buddycloud looks like
a good fit.

There's quite a few decentral social nets in development right now.
None of them are really facebook killers, yet.  I think the ones that
make an effort federate together will become quite a force.

Freedom box has a big advantage in that every user has their own
machine.  This scales way better than a "walled garden" which has to
manage 1000s of users per box in an ever growing data center.
