+    <p><strong>Converse.js</strong> is an open source, web based, <a href="http://xmpp.org" target="_blank">XMPP/Jabber</a> chat client, similar to 
+    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php" target="_blank">Facebook chat</a>, except for the added support of multi-user chatrooms.</p>

+    <p>It is a Javascript application that you can include in your

-        The code in Converse.js is pretty solid and already used in production
