Google Talk This is a new Google program

Recommended Posts

Google Talk

 

Google Talk is this new instant messaging and audio messaging system that Google recently created. It installs as a single executable and is quite lightweight. It can install in around 10 seconds and is feasible even for 56 kbps dial-up users.

 

Although it's quite a nice thing that the Google Talk has no advertisements, this also means that it's funded very little and that there's no extra stuff like video conferencing and file transfer, but you can do that stuff if you download a third-party client (they allow you to do that). They provide you with all the information to set up a third-party client like Gaim.

 

The catch is that you must have a Gmail account, which seems to be quite common in the world today. If you don't, you have to find someone to invite you, or otherwise US cellular users can register with their cell phone details.

 

The program can instantly import all of your Gmail contacts, and allows you to invite others to use Google Talk. If the invited does not have a Gmail account, it also prompts you to invite them to Gmail using your builtup invitations.

 

People can try it out at Google Talk.

Also, if anybody doesn't have a Gmail account, they can send their invitation requests to jag_washingtondc-temp2@yahoo.ca (I don't dare give out my main e-mail).

Although it's not entirely unexepected that Google should be dipping their feet in many different areas of the web, I would have preferred to see them try something with a browser. I know there had previously been a rumor that Google had released a browser, however, I believe it never got past beta testing or hasn't yet.I would like to hear some feedback though from people who have already started using GoogleTalk. Is it an easy-to-use interface? Is it perhaps compareable to AIM, MSN or YIM?
