What features at GV will still work ?

SteveInWA - So can you confirm, will the "forward to Google chat" check box disappear on May 15th? 

gderf:
Making the "forward to Google chat" check box disappear will break forwarding of calls to the stand alone Google Talk application. Why would Google want to do that?

Now, here is the key message:  Google Chat/Talk and their XMPP protocol, are being shut down permanently on May 15th.  This isn't a rumor; it's on track to happen.  


I guess because it's the only conclusion you could come to.

gderf:
I'm betting Google restricts access to XMPP in such a way that their own apps continue to work, but external apps and third party access don't.

Usetheforceobiwan:
If G restricts XMPP access to allow only their own applications, where does that leave third party chat apps (that don't connect to GV) like pidgin?  I tried searching to see if pidgin was impacted on May 14th as well, I couldn't find anything.
