Google’s new IM Service “Google Talk” is Live
Google’s new IM service that they are announcing tomorrow is live. You can login using your GMail account. Use Jabber-compatible instant messaging client such as Jabber, Gaim, or Apple’s iChat.
- Server:
- talk.google.com
- Username:
- youremail@gmail.com **OR** youremail@talk.google.com
- Password:
- yourpassword
How to set it up with GAIM on Windows:
- Add an account, select “Jabber” as the protocol.
- Your screen name is everything before the ‘@gmail.com’.
- Server is ‘talk.google.com’ as listed above.
- Click “show more options” and make sure “use TLS if available” is checked. Leave “Force old SSL” and “allow plaintext…” unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be blank… if not just ‘talk.google.com’ without the quotes.
- Just login and you should be good-to-go.
