Google launches its own Instant Messaging

Posted on Aug 24, 05 01:19 AM PDT

Riding on Jabber, talk.google.com is Google's attempt to muscle its way into the market dominated by AOL, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, and IRC. You can try to telnet over to talk.google.com via port 5222. The last line that you see is the standard response of a Jabber server before negotiating a login.

telnet talk.google.com 5222
Trying 64.233.167.125...
Connected to talk.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
