Comment on Mad At Google? Are You Mad Enough To Stop Using It? Can You Even Stop Using It?

Comments

You can get your data exported from most Google services. There are instructions here: http://www.dataliberation.org/

The problem is importing this data into some other service.

They don't seem to include a way to export Google Talk conversations.

Chats do show up in the gmail web interface. So (and I'm not saying this is elegant) you could open each chat and Forward it to a real email address, then save it from there.

Neither does Jabber.org, or YMessenger, or MSN.

You want logs of those chats, use a better client. Or setup your own XMMP server, with which you can talk to GTalk users btw ;)
