Google has released, in beta, their IM software. It’s called “Google Talk”, and it rocks my little world. I don’t know where you can download it from, except that I can send you an invite if you like. You NEED Gmail to use Google Talk, so if you need that, let me know and I’ll send you an invite for that as well.<\/p>\n

Cool points for Google Talk:<\/p>\n

  • It’s connected to Gmail, so you get email notifications.\n<\/li>\n
  • It’s tabbed chatting, in a cheaty sort of way. IM me and I’ll explain it. \ud83d\ude42\n<\/li>\n
  • It fully supports voice chatting, so talk to your friends in China for free.\n<\/li>\n
  • The UI is simple, minimal, and ad-free. It reminds me a bit of ICQ, back in the old days.\n

    I won’t claim it doesn’t have some room for improvement (can you say “integrated google search function”?), but it rocks the hell out of everything else available, on day 1. But that’s just one man’s humble opinion. Comment me an email address, and I’ll send you an invite. Let me know if you need Gmail as well.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
