Google Talk

Google Talk is live today! Yesterday when I saw the announcement I went to the site (even though it wasn't live at the time) and bookmarked it in del.icio.us. Sure enough, now that the site's live, it's the top hit on del.icio.us/popular, and as you can see on the screenshot, I am the first credited bookmark of the site!



Google Talk is a Jabber server, which is an open-source chat server that they have apparently adapted for their own purposes. This means you can connect to the server using any Jabber-compatible client (like Gaim, etc.). Of course, the Google Talk client has more features than you would get with another client, like integration with your Gmail account.
