Go ahead and lambast me for this post, it isn't specific to Asterisk, but: G+ has only been open at all for a week and I already am chatting with over 200 people who are into VoIP, Asterisk and all the rest of the stuff we here care about. If you don't care or are anti-social, fine. But you owe it to yourself to check it, because a lot of cool VoIP people are there and after all, Google themselves are doing some great stuff with VoIP, XMPP and video, and steadily moving towards open source. Come drink the Kool-Aid! :r

Come drink the Kool-Aid!I'll believe it when I see it. Google Talk uses an existing federated protocol. It does use many extensions by Google (and many deviations of Google from the reference implementation it published, but never mind). Buzz was (technically: is) a federated protocol. Google Plus seems to be a walled garden. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

"API" normally implies that you connect as a special "client" to a "server". If I want to set up my own independent service that is allowed to chat with people using Google Plus (federated, as in as in XMPP, SIP and SMTP), I guess I will not be able to. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
