Google just launched their Google Talk!
First, I have to eat my own words – I predicted that Google will enter VoIP space focusing on their search capability but instead, they revolve it around their Gmail expanding the communication capability instead.
Now, on to the good news, Google embraced Open Standard! Not only the IM capability is based on Jabber, their VoIP apparently is also based on SIP, at least according to ZDNet. Two birds in one stone wohoo!
ps: My Jabber account is james.seng.sg (or james.seng@gmail.com) so add me :-)
Update: Tom said Google isn’t using SIP…
