still in beta, but it looks promising. we've been hearing about some IM by google before, and here it is.

QUOTE

They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:

* Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call
* Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room
* Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away.

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.

well i just came to know about the google talk and was trying to tell about this to everyone here at trap17 when i noticed that it's been already posted here
well, this is a great move by Google....i am sure that soon it will be able to beat yahoo messenger and infact all other yahoo messenger service.

It sounds great, but my computer already has four instant messanging clients opened at once...Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, and AIM. Unless its really good I doubt I'll be able to use it, but I'm going to check it out.

I have a question, do you work for Google, or track their every move? Your always like the first person to find out about everything related to Google, it's cool.
The Google Instant Messanger, seems very fast (it connects fast) I haven't talked to anyone (don't know anyone using it yet... ) it will be a while if ever that it becomes more popular than AOL Instant Messanger, but it might do well, just as GMail did. Otherwise it'll end up like ICQ, well known, but not used...

Indeed, the program looks promising, and that's very good seeing that it's on beta stage (ok.. beta is another name for google programs).

Now the biggest achievement will be get lots of people using it, as what's the use of a instant messenger, if you can't talk with anyone?

I love Gtalk and how it's really simple & clean (especially in comparison to the horrible MSN!)

I'm getting all my friends on it. I really loved when I could chat at work through my Gmail, but they've now caught on and blocked it!

Sigh.

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.

2. No Google Talk For Linux?

   Is there anyway you can use gtalk in linux without opening your browse (6)

   I've been using linux (kubuntu and just installed sabayon) for the past month and am very happy
   with it but for the fact that I can't use gtalk with it. Gtalk is my favorite chat client and I
   don't like chatting using a browser. Does anyone know of a way to get gtalk to work in linux?....

3. Google Talk Updated With Voice Mail, File Sharing!

   New Features added (4)

   Google Talk is now celebrating its first year of launch. On this occassion the Google Talk is
   updated with new features like Voice Mails, File Sharing and also interoperability with AOL. If the
   person you r call ing from GTalk is not available you can leave voice mails, which can be heard by
   the user later. You can also share any type of file using this application. Get the latest copy of
   Google Talk and Update to enjoy these features. Get it here ....

4. Get The Word Out - Google Talk

   (13)

   I think AIM is the most popular IMing service followed by MSN messanger. Google Talk is basically a
   dead messanger and no one uses it. If anyone wants to help I say we get the word of this out to all
   our friends and to forums. I also suggest we contact PHP, IPB, IF, and other boards to add a GT
   button to go along with AIM, MSN, YIM, ICQ, and Email. Also if someone could make a Get Google Talk
   userbar it would be a good way to get the word out.....

5. Video With Google Talk

   Will it ever happen? (1)

   Does anyone think that Google, with it's massive computing capabilities, will ever add video
   chat to the Google Talk service? I did hear of some program (it's called Festoon, curently in
   Beta; http://www.festooninc.com/ ) that supposedly adds this capability, but it would be nice to
   see Google build in this functionality.....

6. Google Os

   There is a rumor going around that google is going to make their own operating system. and they are
   gonna put the os on very low cost computers they built. they computers are about 200 dollars. this
   is probobly not going to make any money. people are already trying to pick windows, mac or linux. if
   your cool you will pick linux. mac still has 5% market share in operating system industry. they
   came out before windows. google might get a head start because its google. but they always make it
   confusing about what their goals and future. even though they are constantly com....

7. Google Talk

   I'm lovin' it (1)

   One day I was looking around the Google site, and noticed Google Talk, so I said what the heck and
   downloaded it hoping it would install without administrator privelages (which it did). I installed
   it, and invited one of my friends who has Gmail to use it; he downloaded it, and after about 5
   minutes trying to get my headset working (turns out that the mic was muted) I was chatting in FM
   radio quality sound! All I can really say is it's wonderful. No doubt about it.....

8. Google Talk Online

   http://gtalkr.com (10)

   Well its finally happened someones gone and created a web based interface for Google Talk, to try it
   out visit gtalkr.com , it has all of the great features of Google Talk (apart from voip, or at
   least I can't find it) and a few new ones such as the searching and labels system from Gmail to
   search through old chat logs, it even has display pictures and lists new gmail messeges, so anyway
   the only real way to get a feel for the service is to try it for yourself. PS they have reported
   server troubles but I am yet to experience any, just in case you can't connect ....

9. Google Talk

   This is a new Google program (4)

   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 y....
