- donlegacyx, on 10/10/2007, -6/+17why not just use meebo or other web-based IM services?
- bambala, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11This is old news. I've tried it and it doesn't work that smoothly as with Pidgin or whatever. And when you do decide to switch back from Google Talk, you will have all your contacts twice in your IM client. It took me a while to delete them from Pidgin.
- phntm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10"To get started, go download the free, cross platform Jabber client Psi" [...] "Set up Google Talk" [...] "Register your other IM services [with psi, nothing special]"
You can do the same with Trillian, Gaim, Miranda etc.
Nothing to see here, move along. - madmac625, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Now I can get around the Proxy and use AIM/IM at work!
- dark_helmet, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9I don't see what this article has to do with the iPhone. This is just using jabber gateways to make all your contacts from all your IM accounts work from one jabber account, not a single mention of the iPhone.
- totorototoro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5you are correct. for some reason I had chat-on-iPhone on my mind when I read the article. I suck!
- heifetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4because gtalk is free.
- forteller, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm using transports to connect to MSN through Jabber (GTalk is actually Jabber) right now. It's easy, but strictly speaking not necessary at all, since Pidgin lets you connect to most any IM protocol directly anyways..
- swoosh_bnd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The main point of it is being able to use it inside the gmail on the browser and being able to consolidate it all into one easily.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3How dare you talk about a Google app on Digg
- bigblueball, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3A cheap rehash of a tutorial I wrote over a year ago! http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/general-other-im-news/33739-connect-google-talk-aim-msn-yahoo.html
- aadaam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Have you ever used a mac ?:) Their official clients aren't as feature-compatible as the official windows ones. Besides, jabber has more extensions than any protocols I believe (like it has a protocol for playing chess etc)
- BalooUrsidae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2But Google Talk already uses the XMPP standard... why forgo cooperative development of features for unilateral development all the other problems associated with nonstandard protocols in general?
- Aristotle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2yep, same here, Google Talk is the only IM app I can use at college that I don't have to try to configure for the proxy!
- cbcnz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Been doing this for about 12 months now, great way to chat on the Blackberry pearl using the Google Talk app. now I can never escape!
- wintermute0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The same friends I've been gently coaxing for years to send documents in .rtf so that even old versions of Word (let alone Ooo, wordpad, textedit) can view them? Odds are slim, as much as I agree with you.
- BalooUrsidae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is bringing the wrong answer to an already fixed problem. Google Talk uses Jabber. Jabber became the IETF IM standard (like SMTP, FTP, HTTP are for their repsective services), thus deprecating the commercial systems. Thus, the right answer to this problem is to dump AIM, YIM, MSN and ICQ already and encourage your friends to do the same.
- BalooUrsidae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2RTF is a proprietary Microsoft format, anyway. You want ODF, which is standardized.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1No, I use it and use pro, I meant what happened to the company. I have not seen any releases in a long time and news of Astro or whatever the vaporware is missing substance.
- lemur, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2The idea is wrong... you're not chatting "over" Google Talk. Jabber transports are difficult to set up and actually function poorly, so in my book it's not worth the trouble. I love Psi though... nice little messenger that.
- ryanmetcalf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1wait, they restrict chat protocols at your college? is this a private campus? University of Kansas 'resnet' at least does that right.
- keeppc, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1This is really old .
Now many open source clients such as Pidgin are compatible with all these gateways.
You can also spy on the chat conversations with these IM spy software: http://www.spy-im.com - quikboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Or it's just simply more easier if you and your friends and family just used the same service account.
Usually service accounts add better service on their dedicated IM apps. Like MSN, Y!, and AIM. It works better that way, than having an IM Window that doesn't have the same capabilities as the one your buddy is using. - lightningrod220, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2This gets around proxies that block other services like AIM, but not gTalk
- aadaam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You had this feature years before, of course. MPIM stuff does this, of course. There's a difference, though: it's a kind of MIGRATION. From closed networks (like AOL mail in the beginning of the 90s) to global infrastructure (like e-mail today), and from own solutions (newsletters) to standards (RSS). It does the same but it's a standard.
And of course jabber transports existed a few years back. But now PyMSNt is mature enough -it does everything except custom smileys. And now it's advertised for newbies, for non-hardcore geeks if lifehacker's readers are geeks at all. This is the news, and this is why I digg it. - Atomic1fire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And now you can use firefox as an instant messenger
(google talk sidebar) - BalooUrsidae, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1ursine.ca no longer offers transports. I know because I run it.
- carloto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Cause web-based IM services and even their desktop versions are blocked at my office...
And the GoogleTalk port is open! - DanH, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1why not just use JiveTalk for blackberry? It's a way better application and is a lot like Adium. It costs $20 after the 30-day trial but it's totally worth it.
- aadaam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Why does it suck? Of course, it's a simple client, but I believe that a gtalk gadget has some nifty features (just send a youtube link inside!) Or use soapbox, which can share basically any windows-compatible files (like: shared presentations), or Xeus.. or.. with XMPP?Jabber (even google talk) you have a LOT of options to choose from.
- sinembarg0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The official clients may be better for their protocols, but they also have ads, and install a bunch of ***** that's hard to remove and that I don't want on my computer.
- WaterDragon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is nothing new! many of us have had this feature for years, using Trillian.
(Not that I ever chat any more! Honest! I don't!)
http://www.download.com/Trillian/3000-2150-10047473.html - DannyBoy7783, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I'd rather just have a gmail notifier in pidgin
- WaterDragon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1http://www.download.com/Trillian/3000-2150-10047473.html
- Enlyth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Right now Trillian is "eating" 18MB of my 2GB RAM for lunch. I should better switch to another IM client fast, before I run out of memory.
- christophocles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0or you can use putty to ssh into your linux pc at home and use bitlbee or finch. SSH FTW!
- aadaam, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0They're getting better nowadays, but they really functioned poorly a few years back. For basic functions it's enough.
- Nerdman01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Old but Dugg because it is a still useful hack.
- Linh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1This is pretty old. I tried this a while back, but reliability on those public servers are hit or miss. I would like to see an AOL/MS/Yahoo backed server for this. Therefore, I'll be waiting a very very long time. Ideally, I'd like to at least see google/aim talk to each other, as that's where the bulk of my buddies are (getting everyone to switch to google is impossible)
- log63, on 04/20/2008, -0/+0quit trying to advertise in the comments. if you want to advertise, this is not the place for you. go buy a banner ad somewhere else.
- wintermute0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Waiting for the portable apps port to show up - for now portable gAim is still working well. I have it set to sync the whole folder onto my work and home desktops when I plug in the USB stick, so any tweaking I do travels with me.
- JaffoCake, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Pidgin + USB stick ftw
- log63, on 04/20/2008, -0/+0does this really work well?
