Go to Google Talk

I once wrote a short article in my blog about a smooth transition to Google Talk. The article turned out to be quite useful and helped many of my friends switch to Google Talk. Spread it here. I hope she helps someone.

I believe that Google Talk is the most promising IM technology right now. I now strongly recommend that all my friends and acquaintances also connect to Google Talk. In any case, it is much easier to find me there. I may not be in ICQ, it doesn’t always work for me now, but I’m always in GTalk when I'm online. The inertia of thinking makes some people think that Google Talk is difficult. Many do not want to leave with a buggy, but native ICQ. All this made me write some instructions for beginners on a simple transition to GTalk. But first, about the benefits of technology.

Why go to Google Talk at all?

In recent years, ICQ has been overgrown with a mass of flaws:
')

• Recently, ICQ because of work on the server is extremely unstable.
• ICQ protocol is closed. In addition, AOL has a bad habit of constantly changing this protocol. I think everyone periodically faces the need to download the latest version of their client due to regular protocol changes.
• Sometimes there are glitches in the transfer of messages between different clients.
• Advertising in the "native" client.

Benefits of Google Talk:

• GTalk is based on open source Jabber technology. This allows you to use as a native client, and any third-party jabber-client.
• Stability. This is google. No need for reminders about how developed this company is.
• When you register at GMail , a GTalk account is automatically started along with the mailbox. I don’t think that someone else needs to talk about GMail, many people already use this service.
• Storing the history of correspondence on the server. This is a very handy feature. All correspondence is available from your Gmail account, no dependency on IM clients, your operating system, or location. For example, I can communicate at work and at home, but I have a single history of correspondence.
• Sync GTalk contacts with your GMail address book.
• The ability to connect transports for any third-party protocols (ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo), also with the storage of correspondence history on the server.
