Interoperability
-          Google Talk uses XMPP to provide real-time extensible messaging and presence events, including offline messaging and voice mailing. On January 17, 2006, Google enabled server-to-server communications, federating itself with any XMPP server that supports
the dialback protocol.
       Encryption
-          The connection between the Google Talk client and the Google Talk server is encrypted, except when using the international version of the client.

Here's what you'll need to get started:

•Sign in to Gmail, iGoogle or orkut.
•In your chat list, select the contact you want to call. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click the camera icon to place a video call or the phone icon to place a voice call.


2)      Skype
-          is a software application that allows users to make voice and video calls and chats over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system.

-          Unlike other VoIP services, Skype is a peer-to-peer system rather than a client–server system, and makes use of background processing on computers running Skype software

-          Skype 2.0 for Linux, released on 13 March 2008, also features support for video conferencing.[12] Version 5 beta 1 for Windows, released 13 May 2010, offers free video conferencing with up to five people.

4)      TokBox (Web-based, Supports all platforms)
-          TokBox's OpenTok platform allows users to start a multi-party video chat with up to 20 people. The API does not require download for use and it is set up to allow the creator of the video chat to invite non-tokbox users into the call via email, instant messaging or by publishing the URL on their Twitter / Facebook / MySpace accounts.
