The rest of the federated XMPP network ... working just fine.

Not for me, connecting using a 3rd party client isin't working.

I can connect to jabber.org with a third-party client just fine.

It's funny that all people in my contact list were blaming their Internet connections. It never occurred to them this issue would be with Google Talk. I don't remember the last time this happened after using it for about 8 years now!

It seems like something related to Google+ integration. Today, my real name and the location that I had had in Google+ is appearing as my Google Talk name and status rather than the old nick/status that I had set.

They used to have something similar back in the days of Orkut. The Orkut name would get set as the Google Talk name. People used to change their Orkut names a lot to say something "cool". Then suddenly they stopped syncing the accounts with Orkut and the name that you had on Orkut stuck.
