Google Talk is live
Well the word is out. Google has released their Instant Messenger service.
The really good news about Google's initiative is that:
- They're using Jabber, an open protocol rather than their own proprietary system.
- They allow and support the use of other IM clients rather than
- deliberately blocking other software as Yahoo, AIM and MSN have done.
- It works off your GMail account which doesn't expire like hotmail and AOL accounts
- Builtin GMail notifier
- Free with no ads
