![]() I love lots of Google products, especially Android, Chrome, and Chromebook. It is, after all, being done under the Google+ umbrella. Google simply decided to double-down on their walled garden, hoping to leverage the success of Android and the ubiquity of GTalk to solidify their lead in the messaging (IM, voice, video) space, partly as a strategy to compete with Facebook. Neither decision had anything to do with technical deficiencies. ![]() Heck, even Google Voice is being abandoned as a separate product. The fact that the tide has turned toward SMS suggests that this isn't going to change anytime soon. And while Skype also has IM, have you noticed that it's nowhere near as ubiquitous as Microsoft's or Google's IM usage? For whatever reason, AV and IM are like water and oil at the moment. Skype and, to some extent, Facetime dominate the real-time AV space. Libjingle never took off because people, especially early adopters like developers, aren't particularly interested in voice and video with their IM. Well, they're certainly not going to interoperate with Hangouts, either.Īre you kidding me? You're saying proprietary, HTML-based chat clients are better than clients like Adium? Perhaps you meant that neither Microsoft nor Apple adopted XMPP. But I've been running my own server Jabber/XMPP server for a long time, because not only is it widely supported by FOSS, it's the only non-proprietary game in town. I was never a fan of XMPP, even before it was standardized. Tons of people and corporations still use XMPP. I run my own XMPP server, and I can interact with Google Business users who haven't been automatically "upgraded" to Hangouts. The public servers for and Google Talk do not support transports."no independent support for XMPP really materialized " However, you will need to contact the administrator of your Jabber server to find out what services it has transports for. In Adium, you should be able to chat through transports transparently (that is, it should work just like chatting with users who actually are on the same server). Some XMPP ("Jabber") servers (mostly private ones) allow chats with proprietary services such as AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! via a mechanism called " XMPP transports". In the official clients, MSN users can chat with Yahoo! users but this is not yet supported by Adium.If you have an account on Google Talk, XMPP ("Jabber"), LiveJournal, or Gizmo, you can chat with anybody who uses Google Talk, XMPP ("Jabber"), LiveJournal, or Gizmo.If you have an account on AIM, ICQ, or MobileMe, you can chat with anybody who uses AIM, ICQ, MobileMe, or SMS.This means in order to talk to contact X, you must have an account on the same service as contact X, or on any compatible service. AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), including:.Adium is a third-party client for connecting to services run by other people (mostly companies). ![]() Note: We do not host any IM services ourselves. history and censorship.įurther down, you can find out which services interoperate ("which service can talk to which") as most services don't interoperate with most other services-this is not an Adium thing. Clicking on a service will lead you to a dedicated page with more information on the specific service, e.g. This page lists all services Adium supports.
