Your Very Own iChat and Blog Servers
You can now host your own iChat server. Instant Messaging serves as a vital means of communication for organizations of all sizes, so it’s useful to deploy and run your own private and secure IM server. Based on the open source Jabber project, the new iChat server in Tiger Server lets your company protect its internal communications by defining its own namespace, using SSL/TLS encryption to ensure privacy, and Kerboros for authorization. The iChat server works with both the iChat client in Mac OS X Tiger and popular open source clients available for Windows, Linux and even PDAs.
A new Weblog server in Tiger Server makes it easy to publish, distribute and syndicate web-based content. The Weblog server provides users with calendar-based navigation and customizable themes, is fully compatible with Safari RSS and enables posting entries using built-in web-based functionality or with weblog clients that support XML-RPC or the ATOM API. The Weblog Server, based on the popular open source project “Blojsom,” works with Open Directory for user accounts and authentication

The blog server isn't terribly impressive; it's just a repackaged Blojsom.
The iChat server is another story. Because it is based on Jabber, this means that future versions if iChat must be using the XMPP protocol. Although it is doubtful that the Apple-branded iChat server will have multi-service support, many Jabber servers do, via means of something they call "transports". This indirectly gives iChat the ability to communicate with many other IM services, just as many people have been wanting.

Is there a reason Jabber is not as popular yet? I'm very interested in Jabber, but since the servers are not centralized, does that mean you have to know of "public servers" to "login" and chat with others?
Wouldn't that make it similar to IRC?

The main reason Jabber is not as popular is because it isn't "pushed" or bundled like the other IM schemes are.
You should be reading:
