well, since they're using jabber, I guess there will be a bunch of third party clients soon...

Requires Windows XP/2000, minimum 56k (broadband recommended) Mac and Linux users can connect to Google Talk using other IM clients
they didn't even bother supporting wintendo

google says linux/mac users to connect with 3rd party thingys,
no voice chat for linux/mac weenies...

Are u on Windows XP? Right now I was in dad's office due to some work and installed the Google Talk on Windows 98 and that gave me some errors. So though possibly a prob due to the OS. This is quite funny from Google to start a IM all of a sudden. What are they expecting? Even they know it that they cant in any way compare to Yahoo! IM and the pretty much bloated MSN Messenger. I dont get this whole IM thing with google thats for sure. Also the use of gmail id sucks :p If it hadnt been the gmail ids, atleast there would have been a hope for people like me to get a better ID.

Hope they dont come with updates within a few days. Lol saw how it looks, no smileys too.. I guess I now figured that google mite have started to work on the IM thing last nite when there were rumours abt this ...LOL!

Me on XP SP2 on my Sony Vaio..
I guess Sony Vaio Audio Filter is the culprit...
I need to upgrade it to latest version and old version is not getting uninstalled :(

Will fix it up soon :D

Don't look at it as a replacement for Yahoo messanger 7 or MSN messanger 7.5, they got many more features,

insted simply use it as a replacement for say skype which is big to install & download, but not as good as VSkype

I m using it only for one reason to talk on the internet via voice chat to my friends & relatives, for text chat i use Yahoo messanger 7, so I got both audibles & voice chat

i just had a conversation with sourabh, the voice was echoing a lot, I was using headphone & mic & he was using (I Don't know)

as for a simple voice chat over 96 kbps internet, it is a lot better the Yahoo messanger voice chat over the same line


cool man, a little application for voice chat only

Downloaded it just now .. looks ok to me.. but i should say it didn't live up to its expectations ... being a google/gmail fanboy i expected this piece of software to do wonders in the messenger field. Looks too simple and theres no point chatting without emoticons. Yeah, it is in Beta, I hope they'll make it much better in final but i doubt it'll ever come out of beta like other google services :p

I think, we can add emoticons, I saw at Neowin where the members posted as to how to use them also we can use bold, underline and all that.

Well, one more area for Google to venture into.

They are almost into everything. Hope we will see an OS, a Browser & an Office Suite also from them.
