The link I posted is a Pidgin plugin.

Thanks for the response.

My understanding is that Chrome must be open and Chat does not function as a 
real standalone app but I may have to try it. I use Outlook and although I have 
Gmail, I get my Gmail through Outlook but now Google has broken that as well 
because they no longer support POP.

So I wanted something more independent of Google.

Hi,

I have used Pidgin and Google Talk for years. Google has now broken
this and eliminate Talk

What is the best/easiest way to replace it. I don't want to have to
login to my Google account to use IM. I want a standalone app that
uses Pidgin which has worked well for years.


Does Google Chat fit the bill?
