Thank you for your interest in Gtalkr. Unfortunately, the Gtalkr instant messaging client is no longer available. The Gtalkr website has been taken down while we pursue new projects as Google employees. Thank you to everyone who tried out, regularly used, and supported Gtalkr. Here's a list of alternate clients to be used to connect to the Google Talk IM service:

Wes was able to answer only some of my questions. In answer to "were you acquired?" he said "no comment, I cannot comment on that" which tell me that yes, they were acquired. Wes and Dudley will be moving to the Kirkland, WA Google office within two weeks, both have accepted jobs as engineers. Wes also said that "they were very happy with the outcome."

Wes had clearly been instructed by Google on what exactly he could and could not say. Again, that tells me that an acquisition took place - if it hadn't, there would not have been those restrictions.
