Google Talk API sweetens the pot |
It’s my wife’s birthday today (happy birthday Kara!) so not much time to check this new API for GTalk out, but it is definitely in the future plans. I did notice, however, that the Google groups for the various APIs are growing with the following membership numbers:
994 - Google Talk Open
612 - Google Homepage API
367 - Gmail Agent API
185 - Google Deskbar API
Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google to interoperate with Google Talk’s peer-to-peer and voice calling capabilities. The package includes source code for Google’s implementation of Jingle and Jingle-Audio, two proposed extensions to the XMPP standard that are currently available in experimental draft form.
Libjingle is available via a Berkeley-style license which is summarized as follows: no use of Google’s name to endorse or promote products created from Libjingle, redistribution of the source code must keep the Google Inc copyright notice and redistribution in binary form must reproduce the copyright notice. And then there is the standard liability disclosure stuff.
Thanks Techcrunch, who also points out that this could force SkypeBay to release a more full featured network API.
I’m sure loving all this API goodness being spread around lately. Hope this trend continues!
