www.google.com/talk

give it a try, it's quite swanky

voice quality's pretty nice too

(if you need a gmail account give me a bell)

GMail, been a while since I logged in, and I noticed:

You are currently using 592 MB (23%) of your 2525 MB.

Oops.

meh, it really doesn't offer anything that AIM or MSN don't offer, and it lacks a lot of stuff AIM and MSN do.

But Google rocks, I support them 100%!

Its still in its first beta so its not gonna match up to MSN 7 just yet but the interface is very clean compared to MSN :)

I just don't see the point of another IM service, other than "Hey, it's google! I've got to have it!" I mean, I use only google for searching the web, but really I don't need google for everything.

i for one love the idea of suporting google in their quest for an online monopoly even though it will in no way benefit my life

Ooooh looks interesting, and I like the way it integrates with gmail.

I shall fuck about with it later, but I doubt I'll use it much

I use the service via my Mac Jabber client, not that I know anyone on it.
