Why no one created a transport for hangouts? This is how XMPP conquered msn, aol, yim and others, and could once again become popular.
Is communication with hangouts much harder?
- McGlockenshire 11y agoHard isn't the right word - it seems to not currently be officially possible. There is no documented interface for communication with users on Hangouts. Not even XMPP is supposed to work, though I and some other users are still able to use it. The only API available is for building applications that interact with the existing Hangouts UI.
- ianlevesque 11y agoAIM (OSCAR) was never officially possible either. Reverse engineering has a long history in IM clients.
