Google Talk website OPEN!


Recommended Posts

hmm well this isnt bad but it need a lot more features as long as they can keep the simplicity of course.

i think for the first time you dont have to be invited to gmail in the usual way https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsMailSignup1 you can do this instead but you need to have a US cell phone....

my email is ianpage@gmail.com

ps does no one else think its very strange and possibly extremely annoying that people can invite you more than once. so someone could add you and you could turn them down and then they could just do it again :s

Yeah really, I thought the guys at G were fans of OS X :/

Big whoo...connect with iChat or Adium and text message...umm, we can do that now :sleep:

It's decent, but definitely has a long way to go.

Exactly. I think the interface is somehow similar to those msn mockups that come out everyday... well, a much simplified version of them.

I like this, but it lacks MANY features.

:D

Let's see how this evolve then.

15. What new features are you working on?

We could tell you, but then you'd have to promise to not talk about it... Joking aside, Google Talk is still in beta, and we're working hard to add features and make improvements. We're just not quite ready yet to reveal the other cool things we've got planned. We can say this, though: we believe strongly in user choice and open standards, and we are committed to letting users access Google Talk using the client and platform of their choice, as well as to enabling our users to talk with users from other service providers.

:D best is to come guys

has anyone else noticed that when you click on a mail message when it notifies you of it instead of opening the normal gmail page for that message with the interface that says inbox and all mail at the side it brings up just the message with no interface which is very annoying because you cant view your other mail that way without clicking inbox which opens a new windows (or tab) and you cant archive the message from this screen :(

That is the problem I have with MSN/AIM/Yahoo!, they all have way too many features that are basically useless. Avatars may be nice admittedly and File Transfers would be good but other than that it seems like an extremely good program!

But, it's not like these extra features that other mature IM products have, actually stop it performing its basic functionality...messaging. It's not like you log in to your chosen IM, and go "hey wait, there are too many things going on here, i dont know what to do", you more likely to just go "hey, i see xxx is online, lets chat". So regardless of the feature set of the product, you're still able to chat to others easily.

My only quibble about the program, is that it's nothing new... there are a myriad of IM platforms out there, so why did Google decide to just chuck one out?

I am conected using Trillian and the Jabber thingymabobby. The settings are automatically set for you, but I appear to be disconnecred every couple of minutes until I reconnect again.

Anyone know why possbily?
