Aug. 23rd, 2005 09:51 pmGoogle has started their IM service. If you have a gmail account, you are ready to go.
How to set it up with GAIM on Windows/Linux, or Adium on the Mac:
1. Add an account, select Jabber as the protocol.
2. Your screen name is everything before the @gmail.com.
3. Server is gmail.com.
4. Click "show more options" and make sure "use TLS if available" is checked. Leave "Force old SSL" and "allow plaintext..." unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be talk.google.com.
5. Ta-da! Just login and you should be good-to-go.
