Exclamation Google Talk - hmmm

Right-e-o. Stumbled across this in my travels. It's google Talk, the google equivalent of MSN Messenger and AIM etc...

I installed it and used it for a bit, if you download it then add me to your list, i am dragon2309@gmail.com

Yea, I've seen it... I don't use it... It looks a bit plain, but it is only a beta right now...

what does google have that isnt in Beta? they like to keep thier programs/services in Beta indefinatly so if something goes wrong they can just say "well.. you are using a Beta product.. its not the release version.. what do you expect?"

but that looks cool, can you actually call ppl for free with that? i remember when you used to be able to call ppl of free on messenger..

I've used Gtalk briefly and so far i love it. It is plain but i like that. I hate when there is all kinds of crap popping out at you. It serves two purposes: IM client and VOIP. IMO, it does both well.

I assume its only good for gmail talk people, that use the same program? They need one that is interchangable, so msn, aim, icq people and all that can talk without having to have all these damn im things.
