I already downloaded it a few days ago, and I think it is quite nice from the Google team to develop such a utra-light messenger. Unfortunately most of my friends are not keen to at least try it, I guess the MSN monopoly is still growing, but we can start sending lots of invites to all our friends and then probably we're going to have a great Google Talk community as huge as MSN is currently.
Anyway, I'll still use MSN for a while until I convince my friends to try it finally. Cheers! |

This is so cool! we have all been waiting for our Favorite Goolge to release a program just like yahoo mesenge and the have it now on Beta testing.
All we have to do now is to invite everyone to have their own Gmail account to use this feature. And guys, remember, This Google talk is still in Beta so be patient about some errors and glitch. Google is waiting for our comments and violent reactions to for them to enhance and make this bug free. So report those bugs!! |

QUOTE(dontmaimyourself @ Aug 27 2005, 08:20 PM) I wouldn't know I downloaded it, got my friends to download it and the only one of the firends I added to accept the invitation (currently) doesn't use it, another of them downloaded it but cant connect as it says 'error authenticating by server' or something like that, but the login and contacts pages look ok, kind of minimal and clean unlike the ones found in MSN. I wonder how long this will stay in Beta for?  Well I finally got to test the first Beta release of Google Talk a few days ago, and I must ses look very promising. the only thing I would say would improve it is conference calling, and if it would let all of my friends connect, I had to use Skype to get a good call going on, but considering its current functionality, and the massive improvement between Google Desktop Beta 1 and Google Desktop Beta 2, I for one certainly cant wait for the next release of what I genuinly believe will one day be the best IM money can buy (or download for free  ).

I downloaded Google talk around two days ago, and a few of its features surprised me. Like the fact when you have two Google Talk chat windows open, they morph together. The saved chat logs are good too, so I can ask a question and then close the window until they answer, and if I forget the question I can just read it
 I also like the calling feature, I can talk to people through mics, but it seems that almost all instant messaging programs have that. |

Google has a tendency to do everything better. This might not have all the frills of other im clients but I like that it it clean. I refuse to use yahoo because it is so busy. When msn changed to act more like yahoo I was sad. If you look at your gmail account and the your yahoo/hotmail accounts you will see the genius of google. No frills and flashy crap, just more funtionality. All of their services have a simple, clean and easy feel to them. You can expect that very soon Google talk will begin to demonstrate more of genius that is google. if you have any doubts just wait a few months. Everbody will be cursing all other im clients.
