I will briefly return to the topic of google talk (jabber (xmpp)) in the context of interaction with third-party protocols. For anyone who knows, it is no secret that xmpp allows you to use msn, yahoo, icq, irc, mailru, conferences. however, a thing has recently come to light that surprised me

picked up the icq transport from the jabber.org.ru server (amazingly, most Russian-language servers are slowly being blown away from icq support, which is very commendable), launched the second client (adium) and did not see the usual / conductors / “you disconnected from network, someone came under your account, then flush ”... I started another client (psi for windows) and was amazed - all contacts are hanging and the priority rule is valid - messages (including icq) come to that client, whose priority is higher.
Obviously, recent developments have played a role with the discovery of the AOL protocol OSCAR, the ability to add and communicate with AIM contacts in the googla talk gaget and / or a very strong witchcraft.
Convenient yes
I
already told how to pass to a gabber. Bonuses from the use of google talk also
revealed . If you do not believe me,
read the speeches of serious, bearded comrades about the benefits of using google talk
