Google has entered the IM space. If you are a Trillain Pro user, here are instructions for connecting to Google Talk using Trillian. FYI, Google Talk uses XMPP (as does Jabber), and so it'll be easy to create a ColdFusion event gateway to Google Talk.

Jerry,
I have several gateways configured to use XMPP, however, I can't seem to get it to work with Google Talk (and yes, I have set teh values for TSL)

Ben,
I have the XMPPgateway running and responding to a jabber.org account, very nice. Can we use the gateway to send pre-recorded audio messages to Google-talk and iChat, instead of returning text?

I looked, but I didn't see any Jabber plug-ins for Trillian Basic. Anyone know of one? I'm cheap, and I'm not a fan of GAIM.

You would think. I have been trying all morning. According to CFAdmin, the Gateway is running, yet the 'buddy' does not appear as 'online'

Never mind; looks like the link wasn't working for a bit, but is working now.

Paul, only the paid version supports the Jabber plug in.
Jerry, I don't think the XMPP gateway out of the box will do that. That would require some work to use the extensions that Google is using. But it should be doable.
