Google talk start talking to others

This piece of news made me really happy. Google Talk have “Open federation” now with the XMPP open standard. This means, that Gmail users will be able to talk to millions of people on Jabber servers all over the world. Jabber protocol is used by many to provide Instant messenging service for small groups, companies, and universities. What is special about jabber, is that users have a server name in their usernames. For example using my account isamb@myjabber.net, which as you see looks like an email, I can talk to users connecting using the instant messenger with users on other servers (including gmail) from my myjabber.net account.

I was waiting for this since Google Talk was announced. Way to go.

    Intoxication:
    Do you mean running your gmail account with another Jabber client ?
    It is ok, but Isam means, you can from your google talk client, you can talk to other users on myjabber.net for example !!
    It will make a great push for jabber I think.

    a misunderstanding then, - i just checked my iChat settings, - google’talk was running directly within iChat not via a jabber-server….sorry about that..
