</strong></td> <td>Jabber ID (JID), e.g. usr@a.b.c/home with "home" being a "resource", which distinguishes the same user when logged in from multiple locations (simultaneously)
</td> <td><strong>Interoperability:
</strong></td> <td>XMPP, LiveJournal, AIM
</td> <p>To add someone using AIM to your GTalk account, add
<strong><screenname
>@aol.com
</strong>. If their screen name is an email, add
<strong><username
>(
<domain
>)@aol.com
</strong>. For example, to add bob@me.com use bob(me.com)@aol.com. Note that if your GTalk address and AIM screen name are the same, messages from your AIM contacts will be received by both.
</p> <p>Apart from using and being compatible with
<a href="Accounts-XMPP.html">XMPP
</a>, Google Talk also has proprietary elements.
</p> <p>Note that "a Gmail account is required to use Google Talk or other download clients" (
