Google, Jabber, and Jingle

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the happy-holidays dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Jabber has published the experimental draft Jingle specs, which extend XMPP for use in voice over IP (VoIP), video, and other peer-to-peer multimedia sessions. Google released an open-source library called 'Libjingle' on SourceForge. Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google that let your programs interoperate with Google Talk's peer-to-peer and voice calling capabilities. The package includes source code for Google's implementation of Jingle and Jingle-Audio."

    Of all the people to have a broken link... Did anyone else try the "Home Page" link on the SF project description?

    There's an old saying that says pretty much whatever you want it to.

    I currently implement Jabber functionality into my project's code.

    I better lock the door before my pointy haired boss comes in: "This looks interesting. I want VoIP before you can go home for Christmas."

    But the way I look at it is "I trust Google more than I trust Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL combined; I'd rather use Google's service".

    How does that work exactly, combining trust values? I bet the sprawl of THAT overloaded += operator would put my homegrown garbage collector's to shame.

    Jabber has built in anti spam. In order for me to talk to you, I have to ask you if I can, and then you have to tell me that it's OK.

    CHECK.IT.OUT.PENIS.ENLARGMENT.CHEAP@BIGGER-PENIS.N ET would like to talk to you.

    They couldn't have come up with something better than libjingle?

    What about libjingoober?

    Or better yet, just a library without that jingle crap called libgoober?
