The Eclipse Communication Framework includes several use cases based upon real-time shared editing over XMPP/Google Talk and Skype

And ECF is the base for a twitter client (as an example of what you can do with that framework)

you must have learned networking in java (java.net.*)
be sure of what king d of architecture you want to use

• client/server
• p2p
• xmpp

If you need to deploy one, you can use Jabber with one of many Java Clients out there.

If you need to write your own server and/or client, you can start with this question and use an existing XMPP (IM protocol) libraries.

Why build one when good open source solutions based on open standards are available.

Take a look at running an Openfire XMPP (Jabber) server.

Theres a variety of clients available the best being:

• Spark
• Pidgin

I beleive that a flash client is also available.
