google IM is live now

I’m connected to Googles Jabber IM server now. My acct. is scott.and.kim @ gmail .com.(no spaces) Feel free to add me.

If you have a gmail account already and a Jabber compatible client (Trillian, GAIM, iChat, Adium) you can connect. Just set up a new account, use your GMail email address as the Jabber acct, set the connect server to talk.google.com and if you have an option called ‘use TLS if available’ make sure it’s enabled.

If anyone wants a GMail invite, I think everyone in the world has 50 lying around waiting to be used.

update: the talk.google.com website is live now too. Wow, looks like they added Skype-like functionality into it. hmmmmmm, I wonder if it’s based on GAIM?
