DENVER, CO – March 24, 2003 – Jabber, Inc., a leading software developer of secure instant messaging and presence-enabled communications, today announced that it closed a $7.2 million private placement late last week. Intel Capital, Intel’s strategic investing arm, joined existing investors France Telecom Technology Investissements (FTTI), the technology investment vehicle of France Telecom’s (NYSE: FTE) wholly owned France Telecom R&D, and Webb Interactive Services (OTCBB: WEBB), which founded Jabber, Inc. in 2000.

Jean-Jacques Damlamian, France Telecom’s senior vice president for technology and innovation, said, “Our continued investment in Jabber Inc. is symbolic of the deepening strategic relationship between France Telecom and Jabber. Jabber is central to our communication, instant messaging and presence strategy, and is becoming more and more of a core element to the vision of our Wanadoo and Orange business units.”

The Jabber commercial product and its open source counterpart, Jabber.org, is based on the eXtensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP), which achieved IETF Working Group status in October of 2002 and is quickly moving towards full ratification.

“ Jabber, Inc. and its open architected platform represent an interoperable approach to presence-enabled messaging," said Ron Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Wireless Communications and Computing Group. "We share the vision of compelling messaging solutions on high-performance devices and wish to accelerate the availability of standards-based solutions across our client architectures from Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology-based notebooks to Intel® PCA based mobile phones.”

Jabber, Inc.’s commercial user base now exceeds 3 million licensed seats, and the combined Jabber open source and commercial community of users is now close to 10 million and growing. In the past year, significant enterprise and service-provider customers have adopted Jabber, Inc.’s eXtensible Communications Platform, including EarthLink, Hewlett-Packard, BellSouth, and AT&T. Jabber, Inc. also forged strategic distribution and co-marketing partnerships with companies such as Hewlett-Packard, webMethods and IMLogic.

“ We’re pleased to receive an investment from Intel Capital and we believe that the reaffirmation of France Telecom as a strategic partner and Webb Interactive as a financial partner is indicative of the strong momentum Jabber is continuing to build,” said Rob Balgley, CEO and President of Jabber Inc. “This funding round will permit us to accelerate our marketing and product development efforts and achieve our financial goals on schedule.”
