What Is Googletalk - the new Google IM service

Aevum Decessus
Recently (2 days ago) Google released their own Instant Messanger program, in a beta release. If you would like to try it out, go to this link http://www.google.com/talk to download the free app. It's a 900KB download, so even those on 56k modems can get it in minutes.
What I've seen so far in GIM:
Automatic addition of all your Gmail contacts to your friends list
Check your Gmail from the app.
Custom away messages, as of now, do not save when you sign out
There is not a way to change fonts or and other richtext options yet, will be in a later release
The only text formatting I know of is when you type with an asterisk on each side of your text, it shows up in bold. I.E *hello* will display as hello
You can invite anyone from outside of Gmail to a gmail account, and GoogleTalk at teh same time, with 3 easy steps.
Unfortunately, GoogleTalk is in beta stages, and is only open to users who have a Gmail account.

I just checked out the website myself, and the program looks promising. I guess my problem would whether to use AIM, Skype or Googletalk - since I have a gmail account already.

    Guy can you believe this guy? He wrote a blog speculating that google was about to use their old
    algorithms. In a blog titled "Google to go back in time" he says: QUOTE Warning, this post is
    speculative, but I think all signs point to what I am about to describe. Google may be about to
    launch a search tool that uses the same algorithms used way back in 2001. Why would they do this? I
    think it’s probably the best way for them to show how far search technology has come in 7 years.
    Now why do I think they are about to do this? Google just changed their robots.txt....

    about what if Google launched a keyboard of its own... Now it set me thinking about what goodies
    I'd like in this keyboard. First of all I think it would be awesome if the keyboard could
    automatically synchronize with Chrome so that speed dial or something could be possible. Now my idea

  7. Google Chrome Reviews
    What do u think of Google's latest freeware browser? (22)
    I’m not suprised by this. Chrome auto updates itself without my consent (although I did consent for
    it to autoupdate in the EULA /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0"
    alt="tongue.gif" /> ) and the installation is so force (like not being able to customize anything…).
    Things like that are usually signs that the company’s attitude towards the costumer is less that
    perfect. Big corporations, that’s what you get. At least it’s open source, so it’ll probably fare
    well (if google doesn’t manage to tank the whole thing). It’s not like browsers that ....

  13. Another Cust. Service Rant... This Time As A Customer
    (6)
    On monday I experienced something that I haven't in a long time. Good customer service. I work
    in the line of customer service, and I have come to the conclusion, there are different levels you
    can provide. True customer service is hardly ever given anymore. For example, I ordered from
    McDonalds recently and I ordered a McFlurry and a Sundae. I was given a McFlurry and a Shake. It was
    at the start of a minor busy period (3 or 4 people were behind me waiting to order), so I waited
    until the others were served, and I said to the lady that served me in a polite tone, "I....

  22. Google Launches Picasa Web Albums

    Google has recently launched Picasa Web albums with 250 MB of free and ad-less space for pictures.
    The Upload throuh picasa is easy as it can get and also the web interface for organizing and
    modifying is easy to understand and use. Even though Google's album format is not a
    design-miracle it does the trick and looks good enough for private photo collections. I've used
    flickr (the free version) before and I must say Picasa Web beats it by far. Overall I think Google
