#Icq chat no reg software#

You claimed that the users of a certain service could communicate with users in separate networks like AIM and ICQ. I never said a user of one service had more or less access to networks. Jabber is not a server but ejabberd and Wildfire are jabber servers. Jabber is not a client but Google Talk, Gaim, Psi, Kopete and others are jabber clients.

To put it in simpler terms so that you can understand, Jabber is the language that software uses to talk between each other. Jabber is in fact a set of XML-based streaming protocols. Jabber is not software, as you so boldly claimed. That goes to show that you don’t have the faintest clue about what Jabber is. Does Google not run a Jabber based network? How many people are on _that_ network specifically? Google uses Jabber but Jabber is _just_ software, it’s not a network. It doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. It’s not new or unique like a combination of the best of breed digital audio device with your cell phone. Aside from that isn’t flash supported on some handsets? Doesn’t YT use flash for playback? Doesn’t that mean some handsets already provide that service? At first YT had a cool factor but it has since been doused in stupidity and is no longer worth much of my time. Their support for most network features is dismal at best and is always behind the proprietary clients in terms of feature availability.Īs for Google’s video service – I’ll admit I don’t know too much about it as I’ve never used it extensively.

I’ve used Fire, then Proteus, then AdiumX, and then back to Proteus. I am familiar with multi-protocol clients. In my experience people choose the network their friends are on and I base that on a multitude of experiences with a variety of users met under an even wider variety of circumstances. People care about networks – sorry that this doesn’t fit in to the “everybody wants standards” mentality but it is very much the truth. I’ve been using most instant messaging platforms since their individual respective inceptions. Besides, Google most certainly didn’t buy YouTube because of the service – they have bright enough coders – but because of the userbase. But how exactly do you think they were similar ? Because they both made videos accessible ? Well, I guess that was it and nothing more. The number of users thus doesn’t really show real preference, it mostly shows how many AOL users there have been, and how many other people just registered a nick to be present on the network to be accessible by these people who just wouldn’t want to use another.ĭidn’t Google already have a video service? Thing is, these days there are _very_ meny people who just don’t care what is the network/protocol behind their IM software, since they use IM clients which can connect to some, more or all of the existing IM networks (a lot of quality clientes exist for this purpose, for a lot of OSes).

Last time I checked more people use AIM and ICQ than use Google’s chat program. Some people should think before they open their mouths.
