Google Messenger?

This particular section of the forums doesn't look too popular, however, I thought I might say that I have GMAIL, and there was a 'New Features' announcement stating that they have released a GoogleMessenger Program. I saw it available and ready for download, although I have yet to install it. Any advice / feedback on it...is it worthwhile?

Re: Google Messenger?

it's only available to those who have a gmail account. all this is a chat program with a feature to talk over the internet with a microphone. not really worth downloading if you already have a chat program that also has this feature.

Re: Google Messenger?

It's a really base instant messanger. I like it because it has none of the annoying crap that AIM, Y!IM or ICQ has picked up over the years.

It's pretty much what ICQ used to be, what sounds there are are really easy to turn off, no popups, nice simple design, small resource usage, it's a fine instrument, imho.

I think it's fantastic, all it does is let you send instant messages, which is all I really need, but the user base is still really limited. So weigh the options carefully.

Re: Google Messenger?

completely off topic but i would like to point out that there is an open source chat software out there that supports the AIM, YIM, ICQ and MSNM chat protocals as well as various others that is free like the others, guaranteed spyware free, consumes just about as much resources as solitare does (on linux systems, windows it takes a little bit more) and is totaly devoid of ads, popups, sound can be disabled at a click, and supports transparrent conversation logging (a must have for all you black-mailers out there )

another feature thati love is that it can set an alias for yout buddies. so instad of having (for example) John_doe12345@somewhere.net as a buddy you get to have "John Doe" as your buddy. makes it much easier to keep everyone straight.

main page:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net

windows installer (GTK+ has NOT been previously installed, if you don't know what GTK+ is then chose this one)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...0.exe?download

windows installer (GTK+ has already been installed, most probably the case if you use theGIMP)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...k.exe?download

platform independant source code (if you use a mac this is the option you need. there is no prebuilt binary for apple machines)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...ar.gz?download

all other prebuilt binaries for *nix platforms
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

Re: Google Messenger?

Oh...I am not trying to 'pseudo mod' but please try not to be off topic. I don't want this thread shut down. Sorry, lol. But yeah. Are universal IM clients such as Trillian compatible with Google! IM? Or is it too early? And isn't Google IM in beta still, if I'm not mistaken?

Re: Google Messenger?

Gaim can be set up to GTalk because it's just a Jabber client, in fact, the Help area of GTalk has a 'Setup for Gaim' section. I don't know if the same is true of Trillian.

1) appologies for the off topicness.....

2) theres a section on the gtalk support page for this ( just like Slothrop said)
http://www.google.com/support/talk/b...y?answer=24073

3) for information about setting up other protocals on Gaim you can visit the Gaim FAQ page at:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php

No problem! Sorry for being blunt about it u.u;; if I came across that way!

But Yeah. I actually was just browsing on the internet on my cellphone, and noticed Google had Mobile WEB as well? THAT was in beta stage. I found it confusing. It seemed to me like what Yahoo already has for Mobile phones. Does anyone know what I am talking about? It's a Google Mobile Web Browser ....

Are you talking about WAP cards, or 3g stuff?

I've checked out the wap google page, and although it is similar to the HTML version in appearance, it does not offer the same feature sets. It does however index the listings to either wap pages, or a simplified HTML versions. You can also use the normal google page over wap as well, but again, it lacks full features and preferences. You are right in saying that Yahoo does a much better mobile job.

Here are some of my favorite WAP sights for phones:

news.com (Cnet's tech new page)
getjar.com (Tons of free J2ME games for mobile phones)
ebay.com (you can actually bid from your phone)
dictionary.com (fast page load)

I'm in the process of making a WAP book for free mobile entertainment downloads.
I only have the wallpapers up for now. The files sizes are so small, I can host it on geocities: geocities.com/project2501d/

(um, is this off topic?)
