Google Talk

Well, there’s a lot of fluff going around about Google Talk — it looks to be just another Jabber server. You can use it by following the instructions at: http://​www​.smashsworld​.com/​2​0​0​5​/​0​8​/​i​m​-​o​n​-​g​o​o​g​l​e​-​t​a​l​k​-​r​i​g​h​t​-​n​o​w.php.

Personally, unless there’s something I’m missing, I’m not excited — I have my local copy of jabberd configured on my powerbook with both the MSN and Yahoo! transports, which means I can talk to my MSN buddies (with avatars) via iChat. Now that’s something to get excited about…

Maybe I should post some binaries or a how-​to on installing jabber locally and using iChat for MSN and Yahoo! chats?
