How to set it up with GAIM on Windows/Linux, or Adium on the Mac:
-- For iChat, just enter the information above.
1. Add an account, select "Jabber" as the protocol.
2. Your screen name is everything before the '@gmail.com'.
3. Server is 'gmail.com'.
4. Click "show more options" and make sure "use TLS if available" is checked. Leave "Force old SSL" and "allow plaintext..." unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be 'talk.google.com' without the quotes.
5. Ta-da! Just login and you should be good-to-go.


I keep getting a authentication failed for that.

Are you SURE your password is right?
That's what happened to me, I had a captial letter at the start of the password, and I forgot about it.

I had to change my password to use this. It does not like random letters and numbers. GAH.

Also, is there a way to be on AIM/Jabber at the same time with the client? I had gaim for awhile but never tried to be on two things at once.

And for the official site, which includes instructions on what alternate IM programs you can use (for non-Windows users and those who like to combine all their IM packages):

Well I was coming home from my high school orientation...and got bored. So, I decided to read the Science/Technology news on my cell phone. Turned out that there was a headline on Google Talk. So when I got home I downloaded it. It's great how it lacks the pop-ups of AIM. Anyways,

If google attempts to make an OS, Microsoft will just buy them. Why have competiton when you can make them work for you instead.

Granted that at Google's profit rate and current value, it wouldn't be an easy buy.

Do you think that would stop MS? They have been on a buying spree lately.

Google is making an operating system -- and no Microsoft wouldn't be able to buy them out, Google already said it would outright refuse.
