GameAccount Adds Jabber XCP to its P2P Network; Category Leader to Fold Jabber, Inc.'s Presence-based Messaging into the World's Largest Integrated Skill-Based Gaming Network

DENVER & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2006--Jabber, Inc. today announced that it is providing GameAccount, the world's number one provider of peer-to-peer (P2P) networking solutions for online skill gaming, with the Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP), its flagship presence and messaging server. Jabber XCP, with a streaming Extensible Markup Language (XML) router at its core, is widely deployed on Wall Street, in government, and telecommunications, where a scalable, extensible, flexible, and common presence architecture allows people and applications to more closely collaborate in real-time.

"Our GameAccount-branded and white-labeled online gaming products and services have literally hundreds of thousands of individual paying participants all over the globe," said Sam Lawrence, chief technology officer of GameAccount. "We chose Jabber XCP because the diversity of customers we serve requires a standards-based approach with a well documented track record for scalability and extensibility."

GameAccount plans to use Jabber XCP as a mechanism for secure and instant communications between participants in skill games such as the company's Gin Rummy and Backgammon games as well as other game formats and tournaments. GameAccount will initially offer presence and instant messaging (IM) service based on Jabber XCP that is embedded within GameAccount's existing games, applications, and network services.

"One of the key services our platform provides is presence-enabling existing applications. Online gaming is clearly an application where users benefit greatly from the addition of this service," said Paul Guerin, chief executive officer for Jabber, Inc. "GameAccount represents a very important win for Jabber, Inc. as we expand our horizontal footprint in the network services and consumer applications market segments."
