Google Talk

Google is at it again. They have announce Google Talk:

Google Talk is a simple and free way to talk with and send instant messages to your friends. Like Gmail, Google Talk uses Google’s innovative technologies to help people communicate more effectively and efficiently. Think of it as Google’s approach to communications.

Google Talk is easy and intuitive to use. All you need to make free calls is an Internet connection, a microphone, and a speaker. After you download Google Talk, sign in with your Gmail username and password. Invite your friends to download Google Talk, and once they do, you’ll be able to talk or IM with them instantly.

The rumors sure got this one right. Google Talk is already, and will continue to get Google a huge amount of publicity. It sure seems like the love affair with Google is cresting. Those pointing out problems (privacy…) are increasing. It will be interesting to see how much longer Google can retain the golden touch.
