Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support

Posted by Hemos on from the unhappiness-in-the-joy dept.

rm writes "This LiveJournal entry by Nugget quite well sums up the disappointment in Google Talk among many Jabber users, caused by the service's complete lack of XMPP server-to-server communication support: '...Google has uncharacteristically missed the real strength of the Jabber design. Despite all their self-congratulation about open communications they've only embraced the smaller, less important aspect of the Jabber openness.'"

    Get graylisting. It's the closest thing to a spam magic bullet I've seen yet. Down from 3000 junkmails a day to 20 or so.
