did anyone in the UK see the channel 4 news? it had a 5 minute bit on google talk, it seems to suggest that they would be doing a pc to phone service in talk in future plus it went over other google apps. in fact i got the distinct impression that they were advertising talk and gmail. ae google allowed to bribe news programmes????????

it was all over the newspapers as well up london on the news boards in front of the papers, i got the feeling something weird happened today.....

Same, LOL. Google is the only person who could open an IM client and have hundreds of thousands of users the next day.

I didn't see it on C4 news, but while I was in the car, I heard there was a short bit about it on the radio. They were talking mainly about VOIP, and strangely, not mentioning the instant messaging.

I think it should have the following features:

1: File transfer - Required!

2: Emoticons - Any messenger without emoticons gives the user an impression it is old.

3: Avatars - Only if the option can be hidden or turned off to keep the minimalism look.

4: Conversation logging - Password protected would be nice too.

5: Webcam support - Replacing the avatars possibly.

6: Font - Colour, face, size and B/I/U

7: Multi OS support - Linux, mac etc.

8: Different account types - @notonlygmail.com

9: Member profiles - This would encourage users to meet other users.

..anybody want anything else?

1. ya ok, that would be nice.

2. I can live without them..

3. Could really care less.

4. All ready has it

5. Will come later

6. Not needed. I have never felt the need to change the font size or color in a text chat?

7. Read the site, Mac and Linux version are coming.

8. No, it should remain exclusive to Google addresses

9. No one ever fills them out anyways

The one thing I really think they should add is the Gateways to other IM networks so I can get ride of MSN Messenger.

      I spent a good 15 min today trying to get new Outlook to use my default browser instead of forcing links into Edge. That kinda tactic is shady and it sucks.

A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software. Vivaldi’s interface is very customizable. Vivaldi combines simplicity and fashion to create a basic, highly customizable interface that provides everything a internet user could need. The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages. Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, add notes to bookmarks and much more.

      Also try installing an alternative browser on ChromeOS. You have to enable dev mode and run it as a Linux app. Clunky.

      I've enjoyed Firefoxx64 DE for many years, and Edge doesn't tempt me, and I stopped using Chrome long ago--far too many bugs.
