Google is keenly interested in keeping the protocol open, and in fact you can access Google Talk's servers with any Jabber-compatible client like Trillian, Gaim, Adium X, and iChat. (If you have one of these, I'm told you can connect using server talk.google.com and port 5222.) Google tells us that SIP support is coming soon and are in talks with Skype, AOL, and Yahoo! concerning interoperability.Technology Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164656247136310370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-9681834705160032672008-08-22T11:30:00.000-07:002008-08-22T11:30:00.000-07:00Google Talk simply blows.

But frankly, nobody uses Linux or Macs anyways.<BR/>- Open protocol; does it really care since not even Google can produce a decent client?<BR/>- Simple interface; you see simplicity but most users see featureless.<BR/>- Chat in a browser; useless and why would anyone open up a browser instead of using a im client?<BR/>Google has a long road ahead to develop a worthy messenger client. It still doesn't have native video support, it's still not skinable, you have to install a Jabber server and use hacks to chat with Yahoo or Live users, no chat backgrounds, no Adress List, no emoticons menu. For the average Joe User, it doesn't have nothing over Yahoo or Live and lacks many features needed to make a switch.<BR/>So i ask you, how can Google Talk become the best messenger?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1164380313894022252006-11-24T06:58:00.000-08:002006-11-24T06:58:00.000-08:00Google Talk is now integrated with orkut, which is...Google Talk is now <A HREF="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/11/orkut-free-to-all-and-integrated-with.html" REL="nofollow">integrated with orkut</A>, which is available to everyone.

In the US there is a much more competitive market with both AIM and Yahoo! having a significant market share. Elsewhere is the world though MSN and Hotmail reign supreme like all other Microsoft software.<BR/><BR/>As someone said before, it would be nice if Google intergrated more of their services like Yahoo! does. Google could probably do what Yahoo! does and better without the bloated software. They really need to link up their services and get them out of beta and start competiting otherwise it might be too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
