d3nuo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Probably already posted, but anyone else notice the "New! Get Google Talk so you can call and send instant messages to your friends for free." at the bottom of GMail's settings? ;)mynimal[at]gmail.com 586423468[/snapback] Yep I noticed that right before I found myself reading in this thread :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/363029-google-talk-website-open/page/5/#findComment-586423471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioboy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 since jabber by default allows interoperability with AIM, MSN, etc depending how the server is set up, I'm sure it's only a matter of time Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/363029-google-talk-website-open/page/5/#findComment-586423479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The UI looks very boring to me, and I don't see any features that would make me want to use it over MSN or Yahoo!. Think I'll pass on this one. Another IM isn't needed, and just because it's by Google that doesn't automatically make it good IMO.

AQUaDeX Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The idea of the service is great, but crappy client, hardly support anything...

I think Google will tweak this client nicely, we can only give them ideas. I think they did very well for a first release, remember what the first msn looked like? Like poo poo. This looks quite nice, well done google I say. I have faith they will improve this client nicely. I hope. :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/363029-google-talk-website-open/page/5/#findComment-586423522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachleen Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 very nice,but they should add smilies and some other stuff.. I would never ever look back to msn if they made this multiprotocol.. isnt jabber supposed to be that way? i dont know , oh well.. very nice Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/363029-google-talk-website-open/page/5/#findComment-586423530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwilde Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hopefully they'll add text formatting and emoticons into the final build.. and the possibility of other non-bloaty features like small display pictures. paulwilde is my GMail account if you wish to talk. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/363029-google-talk-website-open/page/5/#findComment-586423539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalSnow Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I guess I'm missing something here; how do I add people? I clicked 'Add friend' selected some contacts (which it entered into the box), but the 'Next' button remains greyed out. Any ideas? 586423536[/snapback] Are they gmail? and in the format of user@gmail.com ?

RightfulSpire Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I agree with most other posts..i love the minimal look, msn is way to bloated for me, aim has to many ads and whats yahoo :cool: but i use all 3 and if they make it compatible with at least one of those then i will def switch. i say they wil because they know they are coming in late in the IM game and have to cach up and they cant honestly expect eveyone to drop there other ims and everyone on there ims to drop etc etc. so they will make it compatible to draw people ocer slowly.
