Agree. I really think it's a bad idea to be tied to an ecosystem for all your needs.
I, for one, would sure want to Keep all my chat contacts to some other service than Google/Gmail, Calendar with an independent provider. Unfortunately, unlike Calendar and some other services services like SNS and Chat are dependent upon what and where your other friends are.
I would love it if I can have my own chat setup and I can chat with my friends on GTalk and Facebook (no, I don't personally know anyone who uses Yahoo any more or used other services like AIM ever at all).
- tikhonj 14y agoGoogle chat actually uses Jabber[1]. I believe nothing stops you from using some other Jabber service with GChat.

My impression is that they use a technology based on Jabber but not compatible with anything outside of Facebook. I could be wrong--I simply never use Facebook chat.
