Gizmo Project has smileys, call record, 1 cent a minute calling, virtual numbers, offline messaging, free voicemail, etc.</p> Mac and Linux users can use Gizmo Project which will allow them to reach Google Talk users and actually is a much more advanced IM and VOIP product than GoogleTalk.

Well it is the first sign of interopwe have seen in the highly siloed world of instant messaging. Yahoo-Microsoft are still talking about it, and well, this is good. What if every domain owner ran a jabber server of their own (dreamhost lets you do that) and now can talk with a decent sized community. maybe just me, i do find this a positive step forward.</p> Someone just mentioned why this is a big deal?

The days of proprietary IM networks are now numbered. Or are they? Despite the breathless praise that many are heaping on Google (and don’t get me wrong, this is a GOOD THING) I think it will be a while before we see much migration away from MSN or YIM. The fact is, those networks and their clients have all sorts of additional ‘value-added’ ‘features’, such stock alerts, a million different smilies, parlour games, video chat, etc, etc that have hooked many of their users. If you are using messaging purely to CHAT however (now there’s an idea!), you should take a long look at what XMPP offers you.
