Google + AIM + Libjingle
Posted Dec 23, 09:41 PM by tpiddy
Everyone can talk all they want about preferred placement in Google results, or AOL buying adwords with profits made from adsense… but over 2 months ago I predicted that Google would buy AOL and the recent developments have made me at least 5% correct. Don’t forget AOL also owns advertising.com.
The real reason Google needs the sneaky AOL is that AOL has those all the IM accounts. AIM will soon have voice to voice connectivity to GoogleTalk, probably using their newest release, libjingle.
From the GoogleTalk blog about the features of libjingle:
- Voice calls between other PC IM/VOIP clients such as Gaim, Adium, Psi, etc. and Google Talk. .. In fact, they’ll be able to support calls between their clients and ANY OTHER clients that support Libjingle.
- Voice calls between mobile devices and Google Talk! ..Imagine being away from your PC and still being able to have the same free high-quality calling experience you have today between PCs using Google Talk. I expect to see a lot of innovation here in 2006.
