Google Killer "Jab"
Well, the name of the game seems to be interoperatibility.
It all started when Google launched GTalk earlier this year based on open source protocols- Jabber/XMMP.
Then came the announcement in October that Yahoo and MSN messengers would soon be interoperable.
Today I just heard that Google Talk is going to be interoperable with All XMMP/Jabber clients.
Well there are tools already that allow you a one stop access to all major messengers.
Tools like Trellian and Meebo are already allowing users to access all the messengers but it would be great when only one login would put you in touch with all your buddies across different messengers.
And by that I mean not just allow everyone to talk to each other, but let each other use voice , photo sharing and all other VAS (if i may call them).
This step by G seems to a great one step in that direction.
But until that happens, (advertising revenues and how they would be sharedremains to be seen) i am happier using trillian and meebo.com.
And what about Ebay owned Skype and Yahoo Owned Dialpad?
