Its funny but it's not.

[mad_onion]

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 haven't even been able to sign in yet! I keep getting this error. I know that my username and password is correct!

Does anybody know what could be wrong? (Besides that it's Beta) :unsure:

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 really think Google would rather call their OS "Google OS" instead of Goolge

[rguy84]

I like iit alot, it's very very accessible

[jonnybarnes]

Must be a woman, just look at the multi-tasking going on.

[spacey]

i don't know if anyone asked this already, but does miranda have a jabber plugin? can we use miranda to connect to google talk?

[Bocale]

With some emoticons this would be great!

[Bocale]

miranda has jabber, but you still need gmail account for now, see point 15 in google help.

If they add msn support, bye bye msn messenger...

rubnc2 at gmail.com feel free to add me

[jonnybarnes]

Indeed, most people will be persuaded to jump ship like with Hotmail.

[Colin Holywell]

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.

[Colin Holywell]

* hit reply on wrong post *

[jonnybarnes]

Indeed, thatll be the killer blow as people would be more willing to move accross from MSN if they can still use its network.

ok might be cool.
