Official - Google Instant Messenger Launched!
August 24th, 2005
What was first reported yesterday by the LA Times is now official and out: Google today (Wednesday, 24 Aug) launched Google Talk, an instant messenger based on the open-source Jabber protocol.
The Google Talk client includes both IM and voice chatting capabilities.
The new Web site - talk.google.com - hosts the Windows downloadable client, plus client alternatives for other operating systems, including Gaim.
Google, adding more and more services, is starting to be an Internet monster. Some people are scared by that. Personally, I love the products Google makes.
Will Google dominate another software category? Will Google Talk be a success?
Time will tella^??
