Google's GTalk Supports XMPP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taking-on-the-big-dogs dept.

IceFox writes "On Google Gtalk blog Mike Jazayeri announced open federation for the Google Talk service. Nothing to do with Star Trek it means they now support open federation with any service provider that supports the industry standard XMPP protocol. Although they don't specifically mention AIM compatibility, at CES GTalk was shown with buddy icons so it can't be that far away."

    Just because the word "federation" is involved shouldn't trigger visions of the corporate fantasy called "Star Drek: The Next Generation" or the complete garbage of "Star Drek: Enterprise."
