nzlegend 1 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Google just keep on keeping on, their recent phenomenon Google Earth is a astounding success and now the have come out with a google talk! http://www.google.com/talk/ seems they want to elbow in on the AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and MSN messenger instant messaging and also take on skype in the VoIP internet phone stakes. Not be outdone Yahoo just released a new version of Yahoo messenger that has internet phone included. Apparently you need a gmail account for it (gtalk) to work. Its getting dizzying all the changes in the computing world! Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nope its google talk I just downloaded it and it has a really basic interface. Quote: The basic, uncluttered design of Google Talk conceals subtle differences with some jazzier features of rivals. "When instant messaging is like Las Vegas, with all kinds of advertising banners, it's very distracting," quote from some google dude as you can see I just took a screen shot of it. It has snappy feature where your gmail emails popups and give you are short preview of the title and the first few lines of the message, I like that. Now gotta find somenoe to talk to ;-) apparently it only released today so very few will have it so far, I curious how it will compare to skype which has my custom for net calls at the moment. We shall see Link to post Share on other sites
