Inappropriate?google talk == jabber! :)
just add pingdotfm@gmail.com too your normal jabber buddy list, it works fine for me -
Inappropriate?hm, i'm feeling really silly today. i added it to my gmail list, didn't think i could add it to my jabber list. thanks for dealing with that :)
I’m absent-minded

Inappropriate?Is this broken temporarily? This morning i attempted to verify my account and got this 503 error message. (See attached screen shot)

-- I guess it is. I'm the same error trying to verify YIM.
I’m disappointed
-
You just verified a new IM account? It still fails for me, although i note YIM's error message is a 404 while the jabber error message is a 503. -
Inappropriate?404 means not found...503 means unavailable.
-
Yes indeed - -you didn't answer my question: when you say "Works for me" are you saying you have successfully verified a ping.fm IM account? Or that using IM works with ping.fm. It is reasonable to suspect that the code for verification could be additional to the handling of message traffic and could fail while the message traffic continues to succeed. -
Inappropriate?Is this still an issue? We haven't had any outages.

I went back and tried just now. Yahoo worked (yay). Still the 503 error with gmail/jabber/adium/mac. -
*blush* other systems like Yahoo don't need the explicit add a user (or the client sync with the address book where i list the users worked better. I *added* the ping user then sent and it worked fine. So sorry for the trouble. *adds this to list of stupid gaffes earlier in the week* -
Inappropriate?I used Psi (on my Mac) to set up Jabber and Gmail accounts. For users like the ping.fm user, what I did was added them through Psi and immediately a popup comes back asking for authorization. I've seen iChat do this as well, but it's much much slower. After authorized, I close Psi and use iChat as usual.
I’m hopeful

Ssigh -- how odd. The adding a user step somehow escaped me. *blush* -
Inappropriate?p.s. - I just noticed that you said you get the same error with YIM. If you haven't tried different services, you might do that and see if that fixes the issue. I had to do that before finding one that didn't crap out on me. The one I use now is xmpp.org.uk. They have service for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and ICQ (I'm sure they have more, but the fact that they had all four of those at once impressed me).
I see you're using Adium. A while back, they were having some issues with their Jabber plugin. I could be wrong about that, but it might be worth it to check for updates to Adium, or go to their web site and see if there are any posts in their forum about jabber errors. Here's a simpe search I did: http://trac.adiumx.com/search?q=messa...
Adium's settings may need to be tweaked for Gmail accounts (i.e. server ports and SSL on/off). Here's the Gtalk/Adium setup page: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bi...
I don't know if these links will help, but I thought I'd give it a try. -
Thanks - very helpful and thorough! Adium is up-to-date on my system. The Jabber component of adium works well with google's jabber well for use with identi.ca: i post from different jabber accounts to different identi.ca accounts. Looks like the last message in the Adium search was from 2007. -
Inappropriate?I'm glad I was able to shed a little light on certain issues... when I first used jabber, it was terribly difficult for me to understand ;) I hope your problem with this has been solved. However, if it hasn't I'd be happy to try to help.
Sharon :)
