I haven't heard much about "Google Talk" but so far I hear it is better then AIM. Some people want to try it out and tell me what you think? And if you have tried it how is it to you?

I'm a big supporter of Google Talk. I think it's nicer than AIM in a lot of ways, mainly because a) you can use any Jabber-supported client, not just one "official" client, and b) the official client doesn't have tons of stupid ads. Google Talk has a lot of nice features. I'm on Google Talk any time I am on an instant messenger.

i have it since i have gmail. eh...it's nothing that special. i don't know a whole bunch of people who use it. it's more plain, and it's not a separate box. it's...well...part of your email. so i suppose it's more convenient.
^ (michael) really? hm....it's not the same thing as google chat, is it? |

Well AIM has a really good e-mail service now which suprised me. I use it more than gmail.  I didn't really like Google Talk, but it'll probably get better. |

I'm not sure what you mean by "Google Chat". Google Talk ties into the Gmail service, and Google distributes an official client (commonly refered to as "Google Talk") to connect to the service; but Google Talk is just an implementation of the Jabber protocol, so any Jabber-capable client can connect to Google Talk. For example, I use Adium.

I can't see that, because it's a secure page, but if you mean the link that says "Chats", that's just where you can save chat logs from Google Talk. If you can take a screenshot of the page in question, that would be cool. |

Yeah, pretty much. Gmail's chat feature essentially connects you to Google Talk when you login.

Gaim and Google Talk are two different things. Gaim is a program; Google Talk is a service or protocol. You can actually connect to Google Talk with Gaim. |

Yeah, Google Talk users can only communicate with other Gtalk or Jabber users, although there are plans to allow chatting with AIM users, too.

Jabber's an instant-messaging protocol. AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! are other protocols. Jabber is different, though, in that it's an open protocol, in that anyone can write software to implement it—for free. Furthermore, anyone is free to run a Jabber server (only AOL operates AIM servers). It also supports other features that AIM doesn't, such as offline messaging.
You can read more about it here. |

I had a jabber account the day before google launched googletalk, but I never had anyone to talk to. I suppose I'll add jabber to my gaim auto sign on for this computer.
