to add another item to the list of IM clients I use, I have started using Google Talk. username same as on here. if anyone needs a gmail invite then i do have 50.

Google Talk is based on Jabber, the only real IM standard, which is really good as it means that I can use gaim to connect already, without someone having to hack it. Woo.

Ooh! May I have a gmail invitation, please? :)

Woo, jabber

From what I understand, it looks like google is just providing their own jabber client. And an account on their jabber server if you have a gmail account. Well if it makes jabber more mainstream - Hooray!

I have been trying to keep my eyes open for a decent jabber server for a while, perhaps a google one would fit the bill especially if they get round to installing gateways, at which point I could ditch MSN, hooray!

So, can I have an invite please?

I would go with it but don't want another e-mail account, shame I can't use one of my existing accounts as I'd have to use either proteus or ichat on the mac anyway.

Already got MSN/ICQ/Yahoo! set up on centericq... using the settings provided on the Gaim page on Google's 'other applications' page, I've tried to get centericq to connect to the server. but it seems to not want to know. damn.

if i do get it to work it'll be: kelly.harding@gmail.com (well thats my gmail email addy anyway)
