Google Talk Released

Advertisement

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.

    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.
