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."

    Kopete 0.12 from CVS/SVN and PSI already have support for voice, and it works.
    This is the beauty of open-source, google instead of building a google talk client for linux give everbody a lib for voice and is using open standards (jabber).
    Nice move of them.
