I'm new to Jabber, I signed up for a Jabber account at jabber.org.au and it works fine. Today I found out that I could also connect to googleTalk using Jabber.
I was wondering which server I should use?
jabber.org.au is located nearer to me, but google talk uses my current E-mail address. Is there any advantage/disadvantage in using the google Jabber server? What will happen in the future, will they stay with the Jabber protocol? And will I still be able to use my Jabber client in a few years when google had completely modded the protocol?

What do you suggest?

At worst you wont be able to interact with people using hypothetical closed features of google talk but you'll always be able to chat with others on the jabber network.

I personally also use my gmail email as my jabber account.
