Google Talk Client's JavaScript Copy

Welcome to Java2Script's demo page: Google Talk Client's JavaScript copy

Twin projects: AOL Instant Messenger(AIM) on Gtalk UI and MSN Live Messenger on Gtalk UI

Update (Nov 5, 2007): SSL version, https://izuz.net/gtalk/, is strongly recommended, for concerns of security.

Google Talk (also known as Gtalk) is Google's instant commnunications service. There are already 3 official Google Talk copies:

Google Talk Client (Windows only, written in C or C++)
Google Talk Gadget (For all modern browsers that support Flash, platform independent)
Google Talk Web (Integrated with GMail, for all browsers that support JavaScript)

Here is a pure JavaScript copy of Google Talk Client from non-Google communities (Sources are available here). It is first implemented in Java language using Eclipse SWT and Smack (A library for Jabber's XMPP). Then the client is converted to JavaScript with servlet supports. And then it's deployed on a Tomcat server. For more details or architectural information, please visit blog "Inside Java2Script".

For tester who adds himself or herself to demo account, please remember to remove and block yourself from the friend list after testing (Contextmenu -> Remove, please check "Block" option, or you may not be removed [a bug]). Or you may be get disturbed by other testers.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) is a lot slow. We strongly recomend you visit this demo page by Firefox or Opera (Safari is not well tested).

Update: blog.izuz.net talks about web IM and you can report bugs or make feature requests there.
