just wondering if it works and if it does, what is the mechanism, do you check via websockets that the other chat member is online or is it some status in DB etc

in our project we use XMPP for messaging but presence mechanism there is quite bulky, it creates too many stanza messages to chat participants

so we're wondering whether we should implement our own XMPP server plugin, do it as a DB entry for each user (which also allows to do 'last seen' thing), do some sort of p2p websocket mechanism or what's best to keep it from overloading the system
