"I need another IM Client like a hole in my head." - quote from my friend Chris on the right.
Tried out Google Talk like every other good techo-nerd today. I came away pretty unimpressed. Google's beta launches have not had much substance behind them lately.
Google Talk was a very minimalistic IM client with VOIP as the only kicker. Sure the windows stack nice, but all the little things you've come to love in IM weren't there: avatars, smileys, easy way to search for friends, etc.
Let me repeat...they don't even have support for smileys!
One sneaky thing, Google is requiring people to sign up for Gmail in order to use Google Talk. My reccomendation, not worth the download.
