we just passed it around at work and it quickly replaced Yahoo as the office IM application of choice.

[teckmaster]

if they make this into a great application probably the only thing they will have over yahoo could possibly be the overhead. Yahoo uses a ton of memory for what it is.

 

[Gl4di4tor]

Dled it.

[flyboyait]

Anyone know where/how the convos are logged? I found some files in the application data dir, but nothing that was human readable...

[LeiZaK]

I'm afraid to post my gmail address in a public forum

 

[Megatomic]

Here's my addy:

I really like the simplicity of Google Talk, I never use the fluff in the other IM services anyways.

Don't have the mic set up yet though. Any tips on connecting through GAIM? Whenever I try to connect it gives me an error, yet I can connect fine using the google client.

 

[Megatomic]

I don't even have a mic with me. I'm on my lappie in a hotel room for the next week plus. Someone add me so I can test this out tonight please.

I'd like to separate people by forums and whether they're friends, family, pimps, etc.

I still want to know if this uses less resources than my Skype which I like a lot. Oh heck, drop your price to realistic Skype and let Google buy you already lol.

Gmail's voice comm is soo much different than any other service. It works. Zero config. I pushed "call." It found my sound card. Found my mic. Did all of the negotiation with the firewall and established the connection on both ends. It cancels out all feedback, eliminating the need for headphones.... simply amazing

I used aim for YEARS and never got voice to work ONCE. I got google's voice to work with one fvcking click. AMAZING.

MSN Messenger's works pretty damn well itself. I would use Google but it has no video, correct? So, sticking with MSNM for now.

STFU Hyundai fanboi, I want an answer to my question

 

[MazerRackham]

Voice is cool, but I don't have a mic. You really don't need headphones for it to work well?

I'm using talk.google.com over Trillian now anyway. I have friends on msn, yahoo, and aim, so Trillian is the best way to go for me.
