Talk.google.com is running an OSS jabber server and speculation is wild on what they are to announce tomorrow. Their market cap soars a billion dollars with speculation that an IM services coupled with free VOIP will be the announcement tomorrow. Talk.google.com has a redirector to www.google.com/talk .
I think one of the things that people have failed to recognize is that when google enters a market, they usually redefine that market. I think we are going to see some work from their social experiments come to fruition tomorrow. They do own a bunch of dark fiber, which they got for pretty cheap. Will the skype-killing-hype be upon us tomorrow? Will google delver the better app, by utilizing their dark fiber network?
Only time will tell.
