This crossed my mind today for anyone who wants to net the Aunt Tillies with Jabber. It basically involves building communities that make use of Jabber. There already exists two communities that make use of Jabber: the Jabber Community and the Polish community.

So if anyone wants to get Aunt Tillie, they need to build an Aunt Tillie community. Granted Aunt Tillie is a mythical computer user, but the concept of building a community applies, it just needs to be built around the use of Jabber.

A new community would have to be more than just a Jabber user community. There would have to be something that ties it together. It could be a community like MySpace, the business community, or any other hair-brained community.

The keyword is community, not "Jabber community". Jabber would just have to be the enabling and underlying technology of the community. So pick up a cross-platform client, hack on a 1-10 photo rating system and keyword matching, and target it for the single 30-50 year olds, and we'll get Aunt Tillie.
