While working on Chesspark.com[6] Moffit led the development team that created Strophe - a library for writing XMPP clients, implemented in Javascript and C for developers of XMPP applications[7]. Moffit's team also released several other open source projects related to XMPP.
In November 2008 Moffitt co-founded Collecta, a real-time search company which uses XMPP, including the Strophe library, for communication between the client and server[8]. Collecta launched its public beta in June of 2009[9][10]. Moffitt currently serves as CTO for Collecta[11].
Jack Moffitt also serves on the board of the XMPP Standards Foundation, or XSF[12]. Moffitt is currently working on a book, due for release in early 2010, about how to write XMPP applications, entitled Professional XMPP with JavaScript and jQuery[13].
