It's actually a really interesting idea. The Jabber IM protocol is open, and Google encourages the connection of clients other than their own (unlike *cough* AOL *cough* and *cough* Microsoft *cough*). I'm interested in seeing with Google Talk goes...if anyone has the power to take on AOL Instant Messenger, it's Google.

Funny thing is, Microsoft was complaining how AOL had a closed network, until they released MSN messenger and had a closed network themselves. |

I downladed Google Talk.. I just don't have many friends that use gmail. Plus I kinda stopped using any IM client a few months ago.
As for the client itself.. It's simple, but a little too simple for me, I think. |

Yeah.. I knew about that, but I don't anything like that. I use Trillian, but I didn't really like Trillian Pro 3 so I didn't keep it for long ($25 well spent). *shrug* I guess I don't care for it because I don't IM much anymore.

Google's planning to standardize multimedia IM'ing.
Go Google. And kudos for supporting an open IM protocol.

So, they are trying to combine all the protocols, so Aim users can communicate with MSN users and etc? I didn't get the Article that much. But I know one thing for sure. They hired Sean Egan!! |

But I know one thing for sure. They hired Sean Egan!! Not exactly. Google did acquire stock in AOL, and there is talk of allowing AIM users to communicate with Jabber users and vice-versa--but that wouldn't include MSN. The content of the article, however, is about Google and the Jabber Software Foundation's attempts to release an open standard for multimedia IM'ing, meaning any software could include functionality that would make it compatible with that standard. (Edit) Actually, another article details the AOL-Google-MSN "alliance": QUOTE Microsoft and AOL end partnership discussions
Microsoft and AOL have ended partnership discussions involving compatible messengers (AIM, MSN Messenger) and removing the Google search engine from the AOL site and replacing it with Microsoft's MSN Search. It is expected that a Google-AOL partnership will be announced. |

Here's a good article on Google Talk, Jabber, XMPP, and the adoption of any of those three things.
