Googol Talk is Live!


Let me know if you sign up:
Google Talk

Update:
My initial reaction to Google Talk is one of disappointment. I had heard that google was coming out with an IM and I was hoping it would be something really unique. I have two innovative ideas that if implemented would encourage me to add another IM to my desktop:

Innovation 1: An automatic translator that would allow me to communicate across language boundaries.

Innovation 2: Integrate the photo/webpage/video similar to Hello (which google already owns!).

Without one of those two innovations, I'm not seeing how this IM is any better than the three (Hello, AIM, Skype) I'm already running on my computer.

Are you really running all three individually and not Trillian?

All three of them have their own benefits...

Hello is awesome at sharing photos and websites...

and Skype gives the best VoIP connection...

I haven't tried out Trillian... Does it do VoIP?

Jim: Did you download Google Talk? Or was Google's offering not enough to persuade you?
