Google's Jabber Server Works


Recommended Posts

i'm more interested in a google software like trillian or miranda, rather than yet another username i have to remember.

i'm sure they'll let you use your gmail account to log into it; after all, i use msn with my @gmail.com username; so its kinda pointless having another google username.

a nice, clean, open source client with a few bells and whistles, avatars, and not a memory hog would be just what we need since microsoft messenger sux, miranda is good but a big scanty, trillian is a memory hog; and the others arent worth mentioning.

gmessenger

gtalk

whatever.

The @gmail.com is only used for gmail. If you use other Google features, such as Google Groups, then you only use your username not @gmail.com.

Since everyone who has Gmail has a Google account by default, I'm sure they will use the username for their talk service.

Most Jabber clients, by default, have the ability to use Jabber's transports. The transports are what allows it to connect to other clients. Everything, the buddy list, conversations are stored on the server. If Google has these (or similar) transports enabled, we will be able to use the other services. Remember, this is probably going to be heavily modified, so Google might have created its own transports for whatever. I'm sure there will be some integration with Gmail and searching and possibly even Google Desktop Search

I have a screenshot for all of your viewing pleasure. It appears that Google isn't allowing us to add users.

I'm not the only one that can connect, too:

My Google IM name is alienvenom@gmail.com. In the screen shot I tried to add a user from another jabber server (one of jabber's general features) and it didnt work! That's why you see Not authorized.

Just what we need, another IM service to fragment the market even more. I honestly can't see Google Talk being wildly successful. Everyone is already entrenched with their current IM service and unlike e-mail, you can't just switch on your own. Everyone you talk to needs to switch as well, or there's no point. So while I'm sure Google Talk will be popular among the nerds who love everything Google, I don't see it having too much success beyond that.

Jabber supports multiple protocols (MSN, AIM, IRC, YAHOO) all at the server level, so users could just switch.

    • I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this
    • I guess they use the free version, which doesn't send money to any Russians.
    • True, you can pin it to the Start Menu, but my preference is to pin it to the Taskbar since I am using W11 on a desktop with a large display and a lot of space on the Taskbar.
    • 200 mph. Try going 200 mph with a vehicle on a street in any city in America. Good luck. Yes its speculation but so is the idea that it has been 100% approved by the government. When a new drug is under development it goes through a number of test phases, each of increasing efficacy and safety. I would imagine it is the same in this case. You can similuate real conditions on test roads with other cars and if successful on test roads you move it to the next test phase of testing it on real streets with human assistance if needed. Testing conditions on test roads can never account for all real life situations on real roads. This is what I imagine is happening now. The final test phase.
