#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK UPDATE#
#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK ANDROID#
#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK PRO#
#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK SOFTWARE#

So try it out and feel free to add us (techcrunch is our username).

no “skype out, skype in, voicemail, etc.”.

client only works for Windows (see mac options here).

built to interoperate with other services.

Google Talk has a nice interface, works quickly and is generally a great product.

#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK PRO#

Google Talk is based on the Jabber open-source standard, which allows consumers to connect with other messaging systems that work with Jabber, such as Apple Computer’s iChat, GAIM, Adium, Trillian Pro and Psi. One advantage to Google Talk could be its ability to connect with users of competing services.

#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK SOFTWARE#

You don’t have to download Google’s software to use the service. It’s now the 15th IM client on my desktop – MSN, meetro, Yahoo, Skype, Gizmo, AIM, … Google Talk works and it looks and sounds cool. The second the client was available for download I jumped to the site and took the plunge. And the fact that Google Talk had a wikipedia page up even before it launched made me sort of think things had gotten a little out of hand.īut I couldn’t resist, of course. Not only that, it seems to me that Skype already has a quite nice and functional application to do this type of thing. I didn’t write about it because I couldn’t use it (it hadn’t launched yet) and I certainly wasn’t “breaking” the story. I had to move to the Beejive iPhone App for Google Talk which also works well for my needs.There’s been blog chatter all day about Google Talk. I have upgraded Trillian to the Pro version for $20 a year. Have you had any recent successes in this realm you would like to share?

#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK UPDATE#

We will see how things go, I'll post an update here in a week or so if I discover anything better, or if I find this new setup I describe works.īy the way, 3 cheers for IMO for the great service they did provide while it lasted, I wish them the best of luck with their new endeavors. Although there are several different options out there, I just never felt completely comfortable with the others. I use the few different options listed simply because interface and usability are very important to me.

#TRILLIAN GOOGLETALK ANDROID#

Here is the solution I am currently trying, keeping in mind the 3 chat networks I need the most are GTalk, Skype and FB Chat:ġ) Desktop (Windows 7): the downloadable version of Trillian (for an extra few bucks you can get things like saved history, which seems fair considering it would be nice if at least one of these aggregators was able to survive).Ģ) iPhone (you can likely replicate this on Android but I'm not 100% sure): For Skype I use the paid version of IM+, for Google Talk I use the Trillian App (the Trillian app doesn't seem to have Skype for some reason) and then for Facebook I just use their 'Messenger' app. What I have found might just work for me albeit a bit of a hodge podge combination of multiple options. The perfect solution for me would be to have an all encompassing web-based version that works for all the main networks across most all devices - perhaps a bit of a pipe dream I know. I've tried most of them Online, Desktop and iPhone wise and can't say I've found the perfect solution yet. Where to start? To be frank I can't say I've found an answer yet but I thought I'd track my progress for anyone in the same boat - perhaps my efforts will help others too. was my goto at one time, however it got gobbled up by Google and also is no more. My rather tedious task now is to find a replacement aggregator that will do the trick.

IMO at one time was the leader in IM aggregators but, alas, that will be no more within a few days from now. If you are like me and have a list of friends, family and co-workers using multiple different instant messenger applications (Google Hangouts/Talk, Facebook Chat, Skype chat etc.) the recent move by IMO.im to get rid of all external IM networks will mean you have to find a new solution.
