Google Talk
Google Talk Beta is up. Like everything else Google offers, I love it. Clean, with no frills, you can search through your contacts (all two of them for me 0_o). It supports voice chatting, and requires a Gmail account.

It's really simple to figure out where google is going to go next.. look at what yahoo and microsoft both do, and put them in order of user desirability..lostinphp wrote:just visited it..
the only thing dat lacked in google..to my knowledge.
gud.
Already done:
Search
News
FreEmail
IM
online finances
travel booking
...
office suite
Online finances and travel booking are extremely easy adds that build off what google already have, and they aren't impossibly far from an online office suite - which would put a hurt on Microsoft.

You can already use trillian to connect to it. Its a jabber server. The google talk page has directions on how to set it up too: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.htmlshiznatix wrote:skype just turned down a 30 million dollar offer for their company (so i heard). but i just got google thingy
