I feel strongly that there will be a boom in XMPP for machine-to-machine natural language communication (AI vs. AI).

In my opinion the next big thing will be the communication between real objects. Without thinking too big, i've just released an easy and useful app, WhispRing, which through notifies people of incoming calls and messages, using a simple client like Gtalk. There will be a proliferation of these small and useful connecting utilities.

When we say bi-directional structured communication, we mean that the MeOnCloud messenger users will also have the ability to communicate back to the back office application via a structured information packet.

In my opinion, Voice enabled communication which depicts a real life communication would rule, more importantly it should be easy and hassIe free for the web visitor. checked Interacteasy, http://interacteasy.com.
