Gtalkr

An awesome implementation of a simple idea. Gtalkr is a Flash based web client to Google Talk. Meebo kinda pounced on the idea of getting your IM clients online, removing the hassles of maintaining different IM clients on your desktop and allowing yo…

[...] Om Malik of Business 2.0 was nice enough to write an early review of Gtalkr. In the review comments I found a concern voiced by Scott about the whether or not to trust us with your Gmail credentials, and since we don’t have a proper privacy policy in place, now is probably a good time to state our position concerning your privacy. [...]

[...] A posting on Darkness Productions, alerted us to GTalkR, a Flash based service for chatting on the Google Talk system. It has, what looks like, a very pretty and easy to use interface. Om Malik took a look at it, and he liked it, though he questioned the storage of chat logs on their servers. [...]

[...] The interface is a clean, has lots of gradients, but in my opinion is a little cluttered looking. You will see your contact list on the left. You can see online and offline contacts, search through them, and even invite anyone to get a Gmail account and use Gtalkr. On the right you will see collapsible areas for recently received email, invitations, and an extension area which allows you to view Yahoo Maps (Yes, Yahoo Maps on a Google client), create Todo Lists, buddy signon notifications, and you can even use the Gtalkr API to create your own. There is also a great feature called, Chat Inbox, which allows you to search through any conversation that you have had using Gtalkr. It does store your conversations, but as Om Malik has pointed out, it shouldn’t worry you too much as most clients do this as well. There are also some additional features to help you with your searching, such as filtering by contact name, adding of labels to conversations and even starring conversation to show importance. [...]

Gtalkr, Flash + Gtalk

Gtalkr, a flash-based website to access Google’s Gtalk, launched yesterday. It allows you to access your Gtalk instant messaging account without a client, from any computer. Comparisons will inevitably be drawn to Meebo, a similar service, alth…

[...] For the moment, I don’t see that it’s useful as most of my pals have not migrated to Google Talk yet, though I admire the simplicity of the interface. In addition, Gtalkr is neither a Google’s service nor affiliated to Google. So, try at your own risk! To know more about Gtalkr, Om Malik has a very good review on it. [...]

[...] Google has plans to integrate GTalk chat/IM service with its popular GMail email service. On the urging of some readers including Venkatesh and Gtalkr’s Dudley Carr, I checked my GMail, and discovered a “chat” entry in the left hand menu. When I clicked, this message came up: Get Google Talk so you can chat and make free voice calls with friends. Your Google Talk chat history can be automatically saved right here in your Gmail account. Also coming soon: chat in Gmail! Looks like you can soon chat from within the browser, ala Meebo. Maybe this will get some life into the Gtalk platform, which like most (if not all) Google efforts has been slow out of the gates. [...]

Cell Phone Ringtone Composer Notes

Very well, he had heard all the world presents to those who complained bitterly of the United States in the past been not wholly without sympathy, haven’t you?

As a Mac user, you’ve been able to use GTalk IM since day 1…just use iChat’s Jabber option.

GTalk does not (yet) speak to other Jabber servers, so you’re stuck talking to only other GTalk users, but IM most certainly does work through iChat. iChat only allows one Jabber account to be active at a time, so you have to choose to either talk to the GTalk universe only, or all your other Jabber contacts.

yeah, but try using it behind a corporate firewall and GTalk just doesn’t work too well. I agree, the GTalk is limited to Google’s network, but I don’t see much traction for Jabber elsewhere right now. I think this is a good start and the app is called gtalkr after all. :-)

Awesome stuff. A bit humorous that the first mapping extension made available for Gtalkr is Yahoo! Maps. I guess it makes sense since Yahoo! does offer a the API for its Flash mapping service.

Does no one else have a problem with going to an unknown website and plugging in username/password?

The functionality of these services is great but I get chills thinking about privacy, security and identity theft issues.

Scott,

I think it’s a fair enough of concern that entering your Gmail credentials in a brand new website is probably a bit worrisome. To put you hopefully at ease, we don’t store your password anywhere on the server. The communication between your browser and our server, and between our server and the Google Talk server is secured using SSL.

Our privacy policy has been completed, but I’ll re-iterate all of these points and more in that document.

As a Mac user, you can also use the excellent Adium.

iChat and Adium should work behind any corp firewall that allows outbound TCP connections.

Supposedly Identity 2.0 will solve the password trust problem; you can log in to a service but they never see your password. But when will it deliver?

Most IM services do *not* log your conversations, that’s very close to defamation. Google, for instance, specifically states that “Google Talk does not archive the contents of your text or voice communications on Google’s servers.”

Feel free to give up your privacy by giving unknown third-parties complete access to your Google accounts, but lets not get hysterical.
