Google Talk – Part 2

I stand corrected, in a way, by Michael Robertson.

Google have announced that they are opening up the Google Talk service to other companies for interoperability. Although this doesn’t mean much now (as I can still only talk to those two other people), it may push the other IM companies to open up their systems as well. Project Gizmo already talks VoIP style with users on Google Talk.

I honestly hope that Google can create some interoperability, but I can’t see it happening. The current IM companies are just too arrogant, they want to own the world dominating IM system, and I think that is the way it is going to stay.

I think this is a brilliant move by Google to try to force their hands, but I agree that the other IM players will resist interconnectivity.

Google Talk Too Late?
