When was that? I always remember them being reversed engineered.
I remember a short time after AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, etc. had fallen out of favor and Google Chat used XMPP and I think even Facebook used it.
I never had any significant use of Google Chat or Hangouts among my circle of acquaintances.
Those that left ICQ and Yahoo moved into MSN messenger, followed by Skype.
And now there is an uniform distribution across Whatsapp, Skype and Viber.
However this is anecdote data.
