If you prefer pidgin/adium: https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts Basically implements full hangouts into pidgin (connects to hangouts over "hangups" protocol rather than xmpp). It still has some minor issues. from finch (ncurses pidgin) for example, it makes links that send people to a blank page with some hangouts.google.com/ proxy stuff going on that never gets followed. it also has weird issues with instantly marking some conversations as read. Otherwise I've been viewing it as an inplace upgrade for using xmpp on pidgin.
