We did a few other things but i'm too lazy to go check List your firsts of GoogleTalk

Meh. It's another chat client. Much as I like google, I can't see this going anywhere fast. I mean, people use clients that let them talk to people who have the same client. Enthused as I might be, all my friends are going to be content with AIM...which means that I'm going to be sticking with AIM. People use what they have (as evidenced by people still using IE...<_<)

Yeah and google will go to the high-tech :-) Soon we can buy google CPU ;-D

I have installed googletalk right now, and trying it... appears good... runs inside the big-bad-firewall of university...

I found it nice a little underdone for my liking . the voip worked and chatting worked but would really expected more features out of google. Maybe we will see more as google gomes on. I like the gmail notifications that it provide.

Google Talk seems to lack the features of the other chat clients at the moment, but it seems you can integrate it into the new Google Desktop's Sidebar. I'm waiting for it to have some more features or to somehow allow you to access other networks the way Trillian does.

how do you find that frases ?.. or you said that ? xD

I have google talk

My screen name is in the sig but also here Corbin42

Talk to me if you desire.

we needed another chat client for people like me
that uses gmail! so i can meet other friends who use gmails,
not only msn and yahoo! i hope it will become better day by day

how differents of MSN? who's ever use it?

I've found google talk to be quite nice. It is simple enough that it doesn't bloat and take over your computer like MSN Messenger, but it has a lot of nice features. I've also heard that it is based on Jabber, and that future releases will allow users to access other Jabber services (not sure how significant this is as I don't use Jabber at all).

It's just another Jabber/XMPP client... What it will do to Jabber (which is open-source, and bless it much better than any od the mainstream IMs primarily because one can create their own server), is popularize it even more, because 99% of the Google Talk users have never heard of jabber, but they are using it anyways ;]

I haven't tried GTalk, because it's not MacOS compatible, but there are other fine clients, such as PSI, tKabber, or Jajc (pc only).

Check out the list of clients: http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml

i have googletalk on my startup list in Windows but i shutdown it every time
i have few friends on gtalk but they gave me their acc from msn so msn is primary aldought it sux realy hard
i use what most people i know use, so gtalk would be sometimes if msn or/and mirc faild to suporto me
and i realy like simplinest of gtalk, but there should be a complete version of many other feautures that someone who needs that use it.
btw damn google servers are fast, i couldnt belive that i downloaded it that fast

I obviously have other client's as do alot of people,,but ive had gtalk for a while now and although it's not my primary IM client,i do like the fact that it's right in my Gmail box now.

If i choose to chat with another Gmail user,all my convo's go into their own folder in my Gmail account.

Very nice where that is concerned,btw Yahoo is still my primary,always will be...

Google talk is good..
it is small, and nice... thing we cant do - send files..
