Google Talk’s Windows interface looks nice, I’ll have to try it. And I can’t test it out in iChat either, my clamshell has Panther, with the non-Jabber version.
Sure thing is, Gmail beta invites are going to be all the rage again. Between Google, Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo and small brand-less Jabber servers, who’d you rather trust your messages to?
But, on the screenshots, where are the ads?
P.S. Download Squad:
Google also tells us that they don’t yet have solid plans on making money with the service, but plan on using it to drive users to Gmail.
Just when I was about to complain that the Windows client’s “Email” button seems hard-wired to Gmail, which is inconvenient for that category of geeks who like to use Google products but still want to keep their own e-mail address.
Well, there’s still a Jabber TLS server sporting the capacity and reliability the world expects from Google — and I read that even the VoIP part works with iChat (not that I have any need for that, though).
P.S. You can’t send messages to offline contacts, you’re redirected to Gmail instead. Sucks. That’s a definite deal breaker for me.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Ca nécessite un compte Gmail, donc, non, ce n'est pas pour le Kevin du coin :)

Le problème c'est que ce sont les Kevin qui imposent comme un diktat les standards. Ils utilisent MSN Messenger, donc tout le monde finit par s'y résoudre. Ils ne fonctionnent que sous IE donc il ne faut pas s'attendre à ce que les web designers testent leurs sites sous Firefox.
I'm thinking mass murder.
