Google Talk: Simple is better
Google has launched Google Talk, a downloadable Windows application from Google that enables Gmail users to quickly and easily talk or IM with their friends for free. Google is focused on developing innovative technologies that enhance people’s lives, and Google Talk encourages and simplifies instant communication across the web.
Google Talk was developed to make it faster and easier for people to connect to the information they need. Key features include:
– Superior voice quality through just a computer microphone and speaker
– Simple and intuitive user interface — no clutter, pop-ups or ads
– Shared Gmail contacts list so there’s no need to maintain different contacts lists
Gmail users can download Google Talk by visiting http://www.google.com/talk/. Once they download the application, they can begin inviting others by clicking “Add friend” from the Google Talk interface. Those invited to Google Talk will also receive a free Gmail account, if they do not currently have one.
Google Talk enables Google users to connect to the Google Talk service and exchange IMs using any client that does the same, including Trillian, Adium, iChat, GAIM, and Psi.
