Hopefully, this will enable me to use iChat on the mac to communicate with Gtalk users on the pc without a hitch. Not to mention I can use the light and simple Gtalk client to communicate with AIM users. I look forward to seeing the fruits of this deal. This is a great idea.

First off I found this to be very interesting, which sites at the moment are doing really well in the Web 2.0 category and basically this webmaster uses Alexa to track the views and the rating of these sites…of course Myspace is top because of its massive following but there is some high climbers. Yesterday there was a Google Talk update which is pretty cool but one of the main features of the update was the inclusion of a thing called Google Trends…its basically like Last.fm but its a global thing where you can see what the majority of the G-Talk users are listening to…makes for interesting reading. One of the blogs I like to look at these days is Flocks Blog…Flock is a firefox built browser with a difference because from the browser itself without the need of plugins or extensions you can vew your Flickr images, you can blog to your website and you can store little snippets of what your doing for later incase you forget them, so its good to keep up with whats happening on the front there.

Like most Google applications, it works really well - especially on the blackberry. Why is it taking so long for this partnership with AOL to benefit chat? It should have been the first point of action when they partnered. I actually like G-talk. Like most Google applications, it works really well - especially on the blackberry.

The client receives and DISPALYS a thumbnail of the image without any interaction on the receivers part. It doesn't take much imagination to see how open to abuse this is, and what kind of images can start showing up on your desktop, in environments where it is wholly inappropriate for such images to appear.

Only google lovers(I used to be one of them,not any more) use google talk. Most of my friends use either yahoo or msn ims.Yahoo's recent API release made bunch of diferrence and so many cool plugins now.

With the cash they've got, they can afford to innovate and focus on user numbers later. Their software is supreme -- easier, more intuitive than Skype (though not yet to feature-parity w/ it), according to many I've spoken with. Besides, they've planted the seeds. They have the AOL deal (http://dave.notik.com/node/4) -- they'll federate with AIM. They have the MySpace deal -- what about web-based chat akin to Gmail Chat? They have the Blackberry deal along with some other devices -- and I believe they'll release a Google device one day soon. They are automatically adding users to the Talk network via Gmail... as more and more people user their popular e-mail service to talk, it automatically adds these people to each other's buddy lists, expanding the network. And they're on the open XMPP/Jabber client, meaning other clients can choose to connect with it (something we'll see more of in time), plus they'll use their developer know-how to energize the developer community by making it easy to connect to the Google Talk network via your own software or web-based real-time chat implementation. Come on. We already know they do things Google-style. The closed networks of AIM and MSN have had years to grow, in which there were few alternatives. The increasingly open network of Google Talk is where it's at -- or where it should be anyway. Give Google time.

That's sweet UI design right there. MSN's client is too "busy", and while Meebo is good, the new features for Gtalk are excellent. Unlimited size file transfer can really be handy. Hopefully they interop on those features with iChat and Trillian very soon. Mike, have you tried the photo sharing? That’s sweet UI design right there.
