多个协议与GTalk

有时,看起来某些人没体会那 GTalk 是a 快而含糊不清的话 客户和那给他们有几个协议象 MSN, ICQ, 目标 等. 因为GTalk是自由的,您 again whenever you want to add new contacts. Here is the procedure:


Click Add a contact in the Psi menu and click the Service drop-down menu. Select the new ICQ service. Type/paste the screen name of the desired contact into the first empty field and click the Get Jabber ID button. The Jabber ID will be generated automatically in the next field. The next field, Nickname, determines what the contact will be called in your contact list. You can write whatever you want there. I recommend writing something meaningful, like the person’s actual name, or you will end up with a contact identified as something awkward like 444777888 or someone.nick@rather-long-url.com The last thing to do is click the Add button. Log off from Psi and log in with GTalk in the Blackberry, unless you want to keep using Psi and not use GTalk until later.


The Jabber protocol has many interesting services. Here is one that might catch your attention:

Launch Psi and open the menu at the bottom, on the left, next to the status indicator. Select Service Discovery. In the ensuing window, click the Address drop-down menu and type in this address: swissjabber.org. Press the Browse button and wait for the pane below to be filled with the available services. Select the Bots subsection then JabRSS. Keep JabRSS highlighted and click the Add to roster button in the toolbar at the top.

JabRSS will be added as a contact in your contact list. Double-click it as if you were about to chat. Send the bot this message:

subscribe http://rss.berryreview.com/BerryReview

And you will be subscribed to the BerryReview RSS feed. Whenever there is something new, your IM program (Psi or other) will beep or do whatever a contact is supposed to do get your attention. The “message” you will get is actually a listing with the latest news:

You can also subscribe to the comments feed:

subscribe feed:http://rss.berryreview.com/Brcomments

The next step, if you’re interested, is to look for interesting Jabber servers (besides jabber.se and swissjabber.org) with the services and protocols you want, like MSN or AIM. Finding servers that bridge to MSN is quite easy. Servers that offer AIM are more difficult to find. But there must be one… somewhere.

Enjoy!
