Hello skunks, Im looking at being able to replicate the features of google talk, especially being able to send text messages and reading from my address book like i do on my email client. Does anyone here know of any linux client able to accomplish this? -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696
Have you tried the GMDesk? Its an AIR product that I like...i have never tried to make calls on it though...perhaps you could take it for a spin. I am currently using Fedora 14. Cheers On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 9:55 AM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

Actually - unfortunately - Google does not support sending text messages from 3rd party apps and so they learnt of that pidgin plugin workaround and katad it. Sorry. I only just found out. Now only the Googlers on-list can offer us a solution. -- Ndungi Kyalo neno.co.ke ~ Your word O Lord, lights my path. On 30 November 2011 14:22, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
