Google Talk: a new IM
What would you expect from a Instant Messenger?
Internet Calls, Video Calls, Outbound telephony…
Today Google released the beta version of Google Talk, that for now is only a AIMA (Another Instant Messenger Available), at least in my opinion.
Now I cannot test it, because I have a big Firewall that prevent me also from logging to GoogleTalk.
Google has tried to conquer a lot of worlds in these months (Internet search, desktop search, e-mail, maps and now instant messaging) and all the products released has been proved to be quite good (I always use Google for internet search).
The question is: do we need another IM?
It has been told that it will work on Jabber instant messaging protocol (AIM, Y!, MSN Messenger…) and I hope that not a lot of new protocols will come out (Skype for example, does not uses SIP standard protocol).
Time to test!
