Google Chat

Google this week introduced their versiom of Chat. I hadn't used chat clients in a while, but I thought I would try it out. It is very spartan and doesn't have a load of features. It doesn't play with other formats at all and you can't have group chats. It doesn't even have search capabilities. Still the beauty of it may just be in the simplicity. It does support voice, but I haven't tried it out yet, and probably won't. The quality of the voice is getting good reports though. One needs a Gmail account to use Gtalk, and the program does monitor your gmail account for new emails. Gmail is only available via invitation which one can get by emailing me with first and last name information. On the whole I like it, its simple downloads and loads quickly.
