Take a leaf out of 19th-century philosopher, John Stuart Mill’s book. So chatting about the delightful weather with Susan in accounts, or recounting your weekend to Bobby from marketing could actually be as beneficial as doing a cross-word. Small talk makes us better problem-solvers. A 2010 study by the University of Michigan found that passing the time of day with colleagues in the kitchen can improve our cognitive functions in the same way brain-teasing exercises do. Good things come in small packagesĮven small talk is good for your wellbeing. Here are a few reasons that even the most introverted among us should seek out someone to talk to at some point every day. But not only that, conversation is really important for our wellbeing. We love to discuss new ideas, revisit old ones and spark a bit of lively discussion. Robertson Cooper, we’re all about “the conversation”.Requires an additional component on your server. * XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload allows you to share files in conferences and with offline contacts. Allows the server to save bandwidth by withholding unimportant packages. * XEP-0352: Client State Indication lets the server know whether or not Conversations is in the background. Catch up with messages that were sent while Conversations was offline. * XEP-0313: Message Archive Management synchronize message history with the server. * XEP-0237: Roster Versioning mainly to save bandwidth on poor mobile connections * XEP-0280: Message Carbons which automatically syncs the messages you send to your desktop client and thus allows you to switch seamlessly from your mobile client to your desktop client and back within one conversation. * XEP-0198: Stream Management allows XMPP to survive small network outages and changes of the underlying TCP connection. * XEP-0191: Blocking command lets you blacklist spammers or block contacts without removing them from your roster. * XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol for avatars Will be used to transfer files if both parties are behind a firewall (NAT). * XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams (or mod_proxy65). Therefore to get the most out of Conversations you should consider either switching to an XMPP server that does or - even better - run your own XMPP server for you and your friends. There is a chance that your current XMPP server does not support these extensions. Conversations supports a couple of those to make the overall user experience better. These extensions are standardized as well in so called XEP’s. A lot of XMPP servers are run by volunteers and are free of charge.Ĭonversations works with every XMPP server out there. However Conversations will work with any other XMPP server as well. * Conferences (with support for bookmarks)Ĭonversations makes it very easy to create an account on the free conversations.im server. * Intuitive UI that follows Android Design guidelines * Encrypted audio and video calls (DTLS-SRTP) * End-to-end encryption with either OMEMO or OpenPGP * Do not require a Google Account or specifically Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) * Rely on existing, well established protocols * Be as beautiful and easy to use as possible without sacrificing security or privacy With built-in support for images, group chats and e2e encryption.
