As long as MSN live messenger is so easy to use and user functional G Talk doesn’t stand a chance.

[...] 即便如此，Google 依然乐此不彼的继续新产品的开发，更多的服务刚刚完成Alpha 测试，便马上打上Beta 标签推出。对于Google 这样的公司，仅仅完成代码层次上面的测试，只能属于处于Alpha 阶段，只有对新产品/ 新服务有了明确的定位，以及推广策略以后，这样的产品才能叫做Beta. 回到GTalk 的话题上面，GTalk 本身仅仅是作为Google 的另外一项独立的服务出现在互联网上面的。Google 最近创意上的衰退我们暂时先不去考虑，而GTalk 直到推出接近整整一年以后，才在最近被整合到Gmail 当中，显然这是一种临时性的策略转换，而并非预计当中的结果。我承认这又是一次Google 天才般的即兴表演的杰作。可惜用户无法将“天才”与“持续、专注”这两个概念联系在一块，他们总是喜欢看天才表演，而选择持续、专注、可靠的服务。何况 Google 这位敏捷的天才最近也在笨拙的玩着收购的把戏。Google 总是迷恋于收集天才，聚集创意并且实现；然而在内部管理，各种产品的独立开发团队之间的协调上面，Google 却显得比Yahoo 稚嫩。好比酒吧中的情圣，每天夜里总是能引来喝彩并且给自己与其他人带来高潮……短暂的喝彩与高潮过后，如何处理遗留下来的事情？我不敢说Goolge 从来没有考虑过如何妥善安置这些弃婴，孤儿。然而形成已久的不断追逐，猎取新猎物的心瘾，始终无法使得Google 停下猎艳的脚步，然后产生更多的弃婴与孤儿。 [...]

[...] Le nombre d’utilisateurs de Google Talk est véritablement mauvais. Les statistiques d’utilisations communiquées par Comscore près d’un an après le lancement de Google Talk montrent que Google n’apparaît qu’en 4eme position après MSN, Yahoo et AIM. Ils détiennent un petit % du marché de la messagerie instantanée avec 3.4 millions d’utilisateurs actifs en Mai 2006. Jetez un œil au tableau ci-dessous pour plus de détails (D’ailleurs on peut se demander pourquoi le chat via Skype n’y apparaît pas). Notons que Comscore n’inclut pas l’utilisation de Gtalk dans Gmail ; mais même si c’était le cas les statistiques resteraient plutôt médiocres. [...]

[...] Google Talkのユーザー数はびっくりするほどひどい。Comscoreによると、Googleはサービススタート以来1年近く経過したというのに、利用ユーザ数はMSN、YahooそしてAIMに大きく差をあけられた4位。２００６年５月の時点でユニークビジター数は3４０万。インスタントメッセージマーケット市場全体で哀れにも1%のシェアを占めるにすぎない。くわしくは下記のComscoreチャートを見てほしい(Skype IMはチャート中のどこに当てはまるのかなと思っているのだが．．．)。ComscoreはGmail内での(Google Talkが組み込まれている)Google Talkの利用数を含んでいないが、その事実を考慮したとしてもこの数字はただただひどい。 [...]

[...] The user numbers coming out on Google Talk are staggeringly terrible. Comscore usage numbers show that nearly a year after launch Google is a distant, distant 4th after MSN, Yahoo and AIM. They hold a pitiful 1% of total instant messaging market share, with 3.4 million unique users in May 2006. See the Comscore chart below for more details (I wonder where Skype IM falls in those stats). Note that Comscore does not include Google Talk usage within Gmail itself (where it is embedded), but even factoring that in, the numbers are just awful. [...]

[...] Also, Meebo should be supporting Jabber even in this public alpha product. Jabber is an open protocol and should therefore be the easiest service to implement. By supporting Jabber, Meebo would allow you to access Google Talk (profile) as well. This was pointed out in a comment by Frederico Oliveira on an UneasySilence post on Meebo earlier today. [...]

I don’t see a reason why I would want to use Google Talk now when all my friends are on Yahoo/MSN/AIM. (With all of them having some sort of voice/video chat)

I think these guys are too late to start this thing.

Renaming of Contacts is possible, if you right click on any contact.

Anil, I agree. It’s feature set doesn’t ‘wow’ (well except in the small download size 900k!). For me the ‘wow’ is Google using an open protocol so Mac/Linux etc can use clients like Gaim.
This is a ‘get it out there’ release. Similar to how Desktop 2 is a vastly more feature rich animal than GDS 1.x is. If they ever build in awareness the possibilities will really jump.

I am surprised by people saying that Google talk is a cool product!! It is definitely weaker than Skype or Yahoo IM for that matter.

Google has built its loyalty based on the ability to “wow” consumers. I dont see any single feature in this product that “wows” me. I am a little shocked as to Google’s innovation path or shall we just say copy Yahoo path?

Just a tiny correction that you can rename contacts (right-click contact, rename option available.) It’s nifty for a beta, I just hope it doesn’t suffer from too much features, which Trillian eventually got into (bloatware).
