Michael Arrington has Google’s latest salvo in the open API wars:
Google Taunts Skype, Releases GTalk API
Posted by Michael Arrington | Discussion: 22 comments
Google has just released a set of components called Libjingle that allow third party applications to interact with Google Talk. The components, which include some source code, are being released under a very liberal license allowing for free incorporation into commercial and non-commercial software.
It’s about time that Google started opening their API to commercial applications. This should be avery interesting time for all. As other’s have noted this gets even more interesting with the integration of AOL IM and Gtalk – I presume this will mean that any Jabber client with Libjingle integration can talk to any AOL IM client?
