Anyone using hosted.im?

I'm planning to switch to that one too. Moved away from mail / calendars etc a while ago. Talk has been keeping me attached. If I switch my domain to another XMPP provider using the same email address as in my google apps account, will the migration be seamless for my contacts (who are still using Google talk)?

I'm using hosted.im with my own domain. It works fine, except you can't add GTalk contacts right now, since Google is blocking incoming contact requests from other servers.

I doubt your contacts will migrate unless you do it on the client side.

I would think the service you move to would need your friends list in order for you to be able to communicate without re-authorizing everyone.

Since I didn't have Talk set up on my own domain, I'm SOL on that front. I just have to get everyone to re-authorize me.
