Google Going After Microsoft & Yahoo Users
Rumour has it that Google is about to release an alternative to MSN Messenger / Yahoo Chat. This will be their first effort in computer communications and is expected to cost Messenger and Yahoo a big percentage of users.
Google Talk will be an interesting alternative as Messenger users have been upgraded and reupgraded with more and more eye candy everytime one looks around. As a user of Messenger, I was happiest with the first version that gave me a simple way to chat.
As a bonus, it is thought that Google Talk will include voice communication as in Skype where users can download the application for free and talk long distance via their computer at no charge.
The Times Online has the story. I failed to mention Google just lauched a new toolbar, Google Desktop 2, which is covered in the Times article as well as by CNET.

Update

It's no longer a rumour! If you are running Windows XP or Windows 2000, you can start using Google Talk. You must have a Gmail account to get started. If you get stuck trying to get one, send me an e-mail and I'll get you one.
Once you are all set to go, you can find me at pokokat@gmail.com to add me as a contact.
