Google Talk!

What is it?

Google Talk is a messenger service by Google. You can use your GMail account to log in once you have downloaded it from http://www.google.com/talk/

Whats good in it?
Well, you would not really see the "wow factor" in Google Talk which is generally expected from Google. The notable features are: Integration with Gmail and "skype-like" voice capabilities. The voice chat is really good. Better than MSN and Yahoo.

Whats not in there?
No group chat.
No emoticons.
No fonts.
Only for Windows.

For me... I will soon abandon MSN Messenger for sure.
