Google Talk - IM and Voice Messaging from Google
Google, Inc. launched a new voice and text messaging software titled "Google Talk" yesterday.
Unlike other IM services on the market, Google Talk is based on an open communications model giving users the ability to connect to the service using any client that uses the same standard. Some of these IM clients include Trillian, Adium, iChat, GAIM, and Psi.
Google Talk is also integrated with Google's popular email service Gmail. Google Talk preloads your Gmail contacts and comes with a Gmail notification feature that tells you when you have Gmail. Gmail has been an invite only service for about 8 months now. But, now anyone in the US with a mobile phone can sign up for a Gmail account by going to the sign up page and entering their mobile phone number.
Google Talk is rudimentary compared to other established IM services like MSN Messenger, AIM and Yahoo! Messenger. There's no file transfer or video conferencing. But I trust Google will soon be including these options and more as Google Talk is still in BETA.
Try Google Talk and send me a message at cozmik[at]Gmail[dot]com.
