How to set it up with GAIM on Windows/Linux, or Adium on the Mac:
-- For iChat, just enter the information above.
1. Add an account, select "Jabber" as the protocol.
2. Your screen name is everything before the '@gmail.com'.
3. Server is 'talk.google.com' as listed above.
4. Click "show more options" and make sure "use TLS if available" is checked. Leave "Force old SSL" and "allow plaintext..." unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be blank... if not just 'talk.google.com' without the quotes.
5. Ta-da! Just login and you should be good-to-go.

Cool. Google taking over the world one program at a time?

Weird I was able to login for about 30 minutes, then it logged me out and I haven't been able to log in since then.

The article on the Register says something about it only working on the software for windows.

The above directions are not correct for GAIM. See How do I configure GAIM for Google Talk? http://www.google.com/support/talk/b...y?answer=24073

That's incorrect. The official client is Windows-based, but you can use Talk with any Jabber-enabled IM client. Gaim seems to work just fine for me
