Google Talk can now interact with any Jabber server. This should be a good thing, and should seriously undermine the power of the closed IM networks. But as I've learned the hard way by getting excited about open standards in the past - including Jabber - it's really difficult to predict . Maybe AOL and MSN just have too much of a head start. Still, having Google Talk as part of the Jabber universe (the XMPP universe, to be technical) can only be a good thing.
