Google Talk Web Messenger features and knowledge
You can download the Google talk client from the authorized web page. The installation is actually straight forward and the setup file itself is less than 2MB.
As discussed, Google talk offers Instant Messaging capabilities, mixed with high-quality and friendly to use Voice-Over-IP calls. The application software is totally integrated with Google email, so all you need in order to login is just your Gmail username and password. Once you have the client installed, you will be asked for your Google email username and password to login.
Login and automatically, all your Google free email buddies will appear in the buddy list. Of course, there is an Add Friend button, a “Search all contacts” field which searches both your Google Talk and Gmail contacts, and a drop-down under your name that lets you set your available/unavailable status and messages. There’s also an Inbox button which takes you to Google free email, plus Help and Settings.
The developers of Google messenger have employed the open source XMPP protocol for the instant messaging feature, while the VoIP functionality is established on another protocol known as Jingle. Those are the publicly known facts, but Google hasn’t disclosed any inside story on the technology behind their server network.
XMPP stands for Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, open source protocol based on XML, designed for real-time instant messaging.The exact definition of XMPP as given in RFC3921 is “a protocol for streaming XML [XML] elements in order to exchange messages and presence information in close to real time.”
The implementation of the XMPP protocol has allowed users of Gtalk messenger to chat with users of other chat services as long they are based on XMPP. For example, Gizmo Project users (refer to gizmoproject.com) can IM Google Talk users using the Gizmo application. All you have to do in that case is click on Add Contact, and find the given person by his Google ID. The opposite of Gtalk to Gizmo is also possible, by clickin ‘Add Friend’ and then entering the Gizmo User Name.
Jingle extends the features of Jabber and XMPP and it’s responsible for the transfer of multimedia content such as voice or video. Jingle is a new protocol created by Google and the XMPP Standards Foundation.
