Google Talk now open for other Jabber users
Google opened up it’s Google Talk service. This means you can talk to any other IM service from the Google Talk service using the XMPP protocol (also known as Jabber).
While Google already used the XMPP protocol for Google Talk, there was no communication possible between Google Talk users and other Jabber users. Until now.
Since millions of people have a GMail account, this means there are now also millions more Jabber users. This could really push the adoption of XMPP, and hopefully paves the way for instant messaging through open, non-proprietary and standardized protocols.
