While I love that GTalk uses an IM standard, ironically this hinders its adoption, because only Trillian Pro (the $30 version) can do Jabber. Hopefully one of the other major messaging networks will jump on the standards bandwagon and force Trillian to offer free Jabber support, but until they do I'm sticking with the holy trinity of MSN/Yahoo/AIM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1155744627080755992006-08-16T09:10:00.000-07:002006-08-16T09:10:00.000-07:00Although true, people who use all of the above mos...Although true, people who use all of the above most likely don't mind adding another service to GAIM or Trillian.<BR/><BR/>I think perhaps it will grow as a VOIP-like cliend just because of availability. It's rare to find anyone who doesn't have a bunch of Gmail invitations to give out, and all those have Google Talk built into the browser. <BR/><BR/>I do see many people who refuse to switch to another IM service or even add another to the current set. I have also seen that people who use Multi-Messengers like GAIM are more willing to add another free service. <BR/><BR/>It just depends on how good the clients get, if GAIM and Trillian both develop full support for Google Talk's voice chat feature, theoretical multitused of people will use the service because of convinience, availability, and the increasing number of people who have a Gmail account.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
