To those who are confused by the name, this is not a Jabber / XMPP service. JabbR started as an example chat app for using SignalR[1], an open-source, realtime signaling library for .NET written by David Fowler & Damian Edwards. Think of SignalR as Socket.IO but for the .NET world (and Mono compatible).
This has grown into a more mature self-hostable chat. I just threw a version up on AppHarbor 10 seconds ago and I have to admit I'm surprised by the amount of features this thing comes with.
Side note - If you're curious about how scalable this is, SignalR is built on .NET's IAsyncHttpHandlers & TPL (async made easy). I suggest you take a look at the source code.
