Jabber/XMPP and GoogleTalk is may favorite instant messaging network, although this point of view is hardly shared by majority of people I know. And I am eventually checking available Jabber software to stay informed on the subject. I came across Spark which is easily discovered as a top search Google result http://www.google.com/search?q=spark And I am really really disappointed. No doubt there is a lot of work invested already and the version numbers confirm this. However:
- Google Talk network is not supported
- I succeeded in logging into jabber.org but my online contact @gmail.com did not show as online
- Settings dialog/window is way too ugly and introduces a revolutionary idea to not close on pressing Cancel
I am sorry, but I would like to immediately uninstall…
