Can't register my Gtalk IM account with Twitter

I have the same problem. IT IS, because you use your own domain. I ́ve set up an account thru regular gtalk-gmail and it works, but the other one, with my own domain doesn ́t

Just to clarify that my problem appears to be that the twitter account never accepts my invitation. So, I cannot actually send the code.

Maybe an approach might be to get a button to allow users to elect to have the twitter account send out a chat to the users account and then the user responds with the verification code?!?

How can we get "gtalk" with IM names different to "@gmail.com" ????????????????????????????????????????

If you sign up for the Google hosted apps for your domain, one of the apps that Google provides is Gtalk. You also get Google Docs, Google Web pages, Calendar and mail.

It would be nice if they provided greader as well ;)

In fact, I am using gtalk with "google apps for your domain", the problem is that my gtalk account is not recognized by twitter.
Dont know what "greader" is. If is a short for "google reader", I have suscribed it with my email account also.

I have a similar problem, I keep trying to get tweets to my IM (gtalk) and it will not register. I get to where I am supposed to send the code the twitter@twitter.com and it shows that contact as offline. Funny thing is, it worked up until about Aug 30. I tried emailing the code to that account from gmail, no luck. I am using gtalk for my domean.

same problem. does not work nor as gtalk nor as jabber. very very very bad programmers.

It worked for me up until August. Except for this I really like twitter.

We have to add to DNS:

_xmpp-server._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.

_xmpp-client._tcp.yourDomainName.com IN SRV 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.yourDomainName.com IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.yourDomainName.com IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.yourDomainName.com IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.yourDomainName.com IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com

_jabber._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.yourDomainName.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.

My records are already like that. I just tried another gmail address, still no luck.

well... blog's note 31.07 (((

try to use "jabber" ?

Can you explain the DNS issue ? Thanks
As you can see, I've tried as jabber, but if you 've got a special configuration for Jabber, I'll try.

I re registered with a standard gmail account. I did change my DNS records to be sure (as I said, it worked up until August) but to no avail.

ok-ok
i just setup as said in http://www.kavinda.net/2007/07/31/How...
point IM as jabber and all work fine

_xmpp-client _tcp @ 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com 1 Hour
_xmpp-server _tcp @ 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com 1 Hour
_jabber _tcp @ 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com 1 Hour

I'm understanding that we need to "add to DNS". My question is HOW? I tried following instructions on the kavinda.net site, but it wasn't working. Where am I typing those lines and how do I know they are being entered in my dns? That's what's confusing me. I think I know WHAT to type, but not WHERE to type it!

ask your provider. i did it by myself on godaddy.com who support my domain names

SRV is special type of records of DNS (possibly your dns does not support this type of records -- upgrade or change server)

I bought the domain on godaddy but it tells me that my dns is hosted somewhere else. when i go to cpanel for my host, i don't see anything about dns or srv. what should i be looking for?

ok. there are three possibilty
1 -- support domain somwhere else -- in this case you should ask your hoster (who support your domains and whose name server)
2 -- park domain (only temporary decision %) no any administration)
3 -- host domains (only ns records i mean) here(godaddy) -- use TotalDNS (picture in Kavinda's blog explain exactly this situation)

generally you can move support of dns to godaddy
and add records for you site, mx (mail) and srv records.

Woohoo!! Yup this worked great. I have my GApps Gtalk client working directly with Twitter. Thanks very much for digging this out.

one minor change . . . not sure if it is important . . . is that the final period after the _xmpp-client entries is missing. I assumed that you needed it when I added those entries, but maybe you don't.
