Had a question about Google's support for XMPP. I want to build a mobile chat client on top of google chat that can interoperate with google chat run from within Gmail or any other service. Would this application be possible to build since has announced that it will drop support for XMPP for their new Hangouts product? Are there any alternative techniques to allow interoperable chat with Google accounts?
Actually, they removed server to server (s2s) federation.
Third-party software works as client to server (c2s) is still enabled, even if we don't know for how long.
As Google says
Note: We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will > replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP. The information in this Developer's > Guide pertains only to Google Talk.

What's annoying is that users who have switched to Hangouts still show up as online if you have added them as a contact; your messages to them just go into a black hole.
From what I can tell, non-hangouts-enabled users can still connect and chat with non-Google users just fine using XMPP.
Hangouts does not support XMPP as of today's release. This was a difficult decision taken by Google :(

i know it used to be possible but i can't find the code for it.
the Hangout video button code is available at the below address.
https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button
But i can't find one for the chat option that is available via google plus profiles and gmail...
i would really like to launch the google talk option via a button directly from my website for a text chatting option... can anyone help please :) ???
There used to be such a button till May, 2013
google talk button
But now, it has been replaced by hangouts
Google talk official documentation
"We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP."
I haven't tried anything on this, but is it possible? If it is, is there a way of making a plugin for firefox or chrome? or making a software that enables you to hook ai chatbot to Facebook chat. I really want to use cleverbot or iGod.
You can connect to the facebook chat via the XMPP API, though I believe using it to connect a bot or anything that is not user-to-user chat is a violation of the rules.
There are many services such as Kommunicate and ManyChat, that provides a way to automate facebook conversations using AI Chatbot.
Signup at Kommunicate, visit Integrations section. Select Facebook, then select the Facebook page and connect. After that, go to Bot Integration section and connect it with the bot.
Here is a detailed instructions on th same: https://www.kommunicate.io/blog/facebook-chatbot/
I have developed a management tool web site using ASP .NET.
Currently users register in the site to use the service. I would like to move it to Google Apps Marketplace. So that it would be available to google users.
I am quite confused what i should be doing to achieve this. Can anyone provide some useful links explaining how to do it.
If you are looking for a way for google users to login in your app by their google usernames, use the google oauth api
and here's the link to become a vendor on the google apps marketplace:
I'm developing a site with something similar to the Digg bar at the top. One of the features requested is a live chat using Facebook. Is it even possible to implement Facebook Chat on my site by using Facebook Connect or other methods? And if so, how?
[update] I've seen that it works with Pidgin and Adium, but what I'm looking for is a site based implementation (think AJAX & HTML living at the top of the page).
It appears that the Facebook team has at least begun, if not finished, implementing an xmpp/jabber interface for Facebook Chat. This would allow you to use any XMPP enabled client to connect to Facebook. That said, there's at least one javascript jabber client library available that I can find. Although, you may have to implement a proxy on your web server to allow the JS client to talk to the Facebook server.
Also, I'm not sure how they're doing it, but Meebo has managed to enable Facebook chat integration on their site with Facebook Connect. I haven't found anything mentioning it, but this functionality may be easily available through the Facebook Connect API (documentation).
To answer your question: Yes, it's possible.
Google just released Google Friend Connect which allows you to allow community discussion and the possibility for real-time community communication on your site.
I think it'd be really cool to integrate this with open source dev mailing lists and dev forums, to offer a more "real-time" chat discussion along with the longer email responses in the same place (at least for users of the google groups web front-end). Even stackoverflow could benefit from this (instead of checking comments and refreshing the page you could reply in real-time).
There is a service that lets you create Google Friend connect chat rooms but it doesn't seem to be able to embed in other sites called Clackpoint.
Mainly I'm curious if anyone has any solutions for doing the following.
Integrating Google Friend Connect with Google Groups (e.g. for google code projects) or other dev forums
If there's no direct integration with google groups is there an API or a way to "authenticate" a user to an external "Google Friend Connect" enabled community site based on their google groups membership.
Is there a way to support channels in Google Friend Connect to focus discussion to a particular mailing list post or forum topic (and it'd be good to integrate the chat log with that mailing list post/discussion).
Also does anyone know if Google friend connect can be configured to have "channels" or "topics" for example on a dev forum or google groups mailing list it might make sense to have a seperate real-time chat channel for a given mailing list topic or forum post. This "Google Friend connect" stuff feels very akin to Google Wave capabilities.
There is a way to embed Google Groups onto a Google Site page.
There is a good instruction at:

Also, you can embed Google Friend Connect onto a Blogger page.
