Google Talk Released

This is a short post. Rushing my Final Year Project prototype presentation. Will be back with more auto posts after I’m done!

Google’s IM long-anticipated IM service Google Talk is out. Head over to Kah Soon for screenshots.

What I like about it is it’s open to other third party IM clients as it’s based on the open source Jabber/XMPP protocol. A list of supported clients is available here. I’m going to use it with my Trillian Pro.

    Give Gaim a try. Even Google recommends it. I don’t like the client that Google provided. Very confusing.

    Paul, Google talk does not work.
    I have just installed it last night but ERROR came out. Is this already ready to use or not completely done yet?

    thanks for notifying us, paul.

    dog the wan,
    I’ve been talking to a few friends on it already.
    although, I’m using adium since I’m on a mac.
    but my friends who are using google’s own client say it’s working fine.

    dog the wan,

    i don’t know. i’m on streamyx.
    after some thought, i realize i don’t know anyone who still uses dial up.
    we tested gtalk’s voice chat on broadband, it’s fine.
