Article didn't mention it, but Justin's blog post did:

"Standards-based: XMPP, Jingle, RTP"...

We're working on publishing the spec, which should be available soon. In fact, it's already implemented in libjingle:

Could you link us? If they're opening up the technology behind it, it really will be amazing.

I have to wonder if it's based on Muji or if it was built from scratch.

EDIT: Never mind, found it in the article. http://juberti.blogspot.com/2011/06/announcing-google-hangou...

EDIT 2: Oh, you're a Googler. Good to see that you'll be opening it up. :D

Very excited to see this used here and know that it will be replaced by even more plugin-less awesome- WebRTC.

I wonder if that's just a Google-internal thing or if Google+ will embrace other social networks wanting to integrate.
