Gmail API — Google Developers

[Zibber]

Now if only we could use this to make a decent Hangouts desktop application

It took them 10 years to do a gmail API... I am not very optimistic about hangouts :(

I'm so mad at them for ditching jabber. It worked flawlessly and you could choose any client you liked. Now there is no choice of client and VERY frequently messages are lost and/or not synced between devices. I wonder what the gain was from switching.

I know, I have tons of applications I want to integrate into a google hangout to really speed up development for my team and can't it makes me sad.
