Google took the API step

Just to remind: even if nobody seemed to care after my controversial talk on XMPP Summit this year (not that most of you believed such at all), Google took the API step.

(For a rant on APIs, see my previous post and the ones listed at the beginning of that)

I know SamePlace was much before this, but, with all the credits to Massimiliano, GTalk has a much larger user base.

Now, what we need is a standard API above Meebo, SamePlace, and this stuff, like Ajax did for the XMLHttpRequest implementations
