Google Talk website OPEN!

[Shoop]

Remember, this product is still in BETA, i don't think they've announced it yet, look at the website, its half way between 404 messages and google maps. They are still expanding on this.

Trillian doesn't take up 10K? Are you kidding or just flat out lying?

Trillian is a HOG. You do realize 10K can't even begin to load up the images of the skin don't you? (this is just with 1 yahoo account, 1 msn accont and 1 aim account, no other plugins)

"Mem Usage" column is useless. It doesn't actually tell how  much memory is allocated by that particular program. And thats what's important. Notice the how much memory is free after killing trillian.exe? Notice it freed up what was in VM Mem, not Mem Usage.

And just for the record, Google Talk(googletalk.exe) doens't take up all that much.

I checked right where you were and i have 1 msn, 1 yahoo, 1 aim, and 1 jabber and mine still doesnt take up more then 10k.

I dont wanna bother with screenshots unless you rlly rlly want them.

The only way to skin it is to ResHack it.

[khab87]

khab87 at gmail.com so far its nice. can't wait to see how google expands with it

[Bryan000]

well I like it but, it has a LONG WAY to go in order to compete with Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Mesenger.

I appreciate the minimalistic interface and everything but, we need more features :)

Skins (not my personaly favorite feature but it would be nice)

Smiley icons (hopefuly skinnable)

rich text for messaging (fonts, bold, italics, etc.)

avatars

etc.

But I'd be stupid to believe Google wasn't already considering these things. Time will tell!

Using there server with Adium. It's nice I guess but really its just another jabber server :/ most multi-protocol IM's can use Jabber and only thing google really ads is built in VoIP :/ I hope they improve it though since they do have a ton of cash to splash on this.

Anybody seen this new image? :shifty:

[Schmoove]

Webcam support is a must for me.

And if it gets skinnable that would be nice too, because this just looks a bit too basic for me.

[Orange]

Nice :D

Just wait..remember it's only beta stage and Google is known to give us more :yes:

[tomera]

im liking it and cant wait to see what google does with it =)

[khab87]

Just taking a look at Google talk with reshack and by the looks of it they are planning on adding Functionality to work with other jabber servers.

Edit: You can also get bold text by putting a * before and after the text that you want to be bold.

Thanks for the news. Has anyone tried accessing the Debug Settings for Google Talk, or rather found some kind of method to getting to that dialog?

If you want to test Asian language compatability, add wctaiwan[at]gmail.com. I speak Chinese (Traditional Chinese, to be precise).

Clicking 'Inbox' does nothing for me when 'Visit gmail when I click email links' is checked or not.
