So one of the biggest interweb rumors so far came out to be true: Google has released their own IM client, Google Talk. Thankfully, it uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol, so the best non-proprietary IMs around are already able to support this new service.

I’m a firm Miranda user, but Miranda isn’t listed on Google’s compatible clients list. It’s still easy to setup the Google/Jabber protocol on it though; instructions can be found here.

And for all it’s worth, my account is zisforzeh [AT] gmail.

Update: Google has now added Miranda instructions to their list.
