Google talk is awesome! I like how it is really compact, so it doesn't take up much screen space. The internet telephony is very similar to Skype, but google talk is still great. Does anyone know exactly how (what protocol, etc.) google talk incorporates the calling features? I'm just curious...
Thanks!  |

Yeah. I have a 95 so I can't get it. Hopefully a new computer will fix the problem.
 I heard from a relative it is really good. Even watched him use it. Seems to be really easy. It shows you when the person is writing, and instantly displays all the messages. Just like a regular chat room. Fast and effective, I am sure it will be a good hit. You can talk with mics to if you have them. It also shows you who is online. I think it is exactly like any other messenger. I don't know if it is better then MSN, but it is still way cool!

The program itself doesnt work on my computer strangely enough (windows xp), luckily I got trillian pro which supports it as well
 (With the Jabber plug in). Not many people talking on it tho...

Ah, Google Talk.. it's like the Notepad of messangers. It's so simple.. it doesn't need a zillion little pictures and features you'll never use, clogging it up.. it's purely a messanger.
You guys keep saying that no one is using it yet.. and personally, I find that a blessing. I have 5 people on my Googletalk BL.. and probably 100 on my Trillian's AIM/MSN/Yahoo. I let Googletalk auto-launch and leave it running all day, safe in the knowledge that only my 5 best friends can see me on it.. and if I get a message, it'll be one I want. Launching Trillian is almost a headache, sometimes, getting bombed by people you hardly know, amongst the few convs from your friends. |

QUOTE(serverph @ Aug 24 2005, 06:40 AM) still in beta, but it looks promising. we've been hearing about some IM by google before, and here it is. users must have a GMAIL account to use it. but since almost everyone has gmail already, it won't be a problem building your contacts with the Google Talk IM. only thing is, it would require a much later version of windows: XP and 2000 only. mac and linux connectivity is available though using other IM clients.download Google Talk here: http://www.google.com/talk/  its ok but in my opinion it could use alot of improvements barely no featuresor nothing and could use a better design also just too plain but i still use it hopin for a better one in the future |

Wow great to know this google talk, i will try to use and see if it is good for me or not. I have many friends in usa who use google mail, so that we can download this google talk and just talk to hours together and this will avoid my phone billing. This also puts an end to me to find free call out service on the internet. I think it will be good than any other services like skype, pcphone etc.... let me try and see thanks for the details...

I must admit google talk is a great work by google.And as rightly pointed previously most of the people are now having gmail account to access google talk it wont be any problem to send instand messages.Enjoy! and it is true that there is no meaning for a chatting software if we can not chat with people. But I have one query in this regard like yahoo messenger is there any chat room facility in google talk? As for me I could not find one.There is much enjoyment in reaching rooms. It will be helpful for me if anyone can suggest the solution to my query.
