Top 5 Reasons I won't be using Google's Talk

[So]

also:


Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


even more explicit.

Saying that something is not guaranteed in the constitution does not deny us that right.

It's this type of thinking that's letting freedom slip through our fingers.

Any word on the Google Payment system they were supposed to be working on to go up against Paypal? I sure wish they'd hurry up with that.

 

[Ipno]

That payment system was just so they could pay their advertisers and partners and buy their sports cars with scantilly clad women wearing "IPO = Teh Sexy" t-shirts.

Exactly the reason I won't be using it. AIM is simple and clean and all the features in the world won't get me to switch and hope all of my buddy list switches.

contextual ads, or ads in general is why I wouldn't use it

I'll be sticking with Trillian (AIM/MSN) that seems to work best for me.

QFT. I don't see the google network taking over PDQ. MSN is good enough for me, although I would be open to alternatives. AIM already rules, and I doubt there'll be a migration en masse

BTW... Is the new version any good?

 

[rh71]

1) because I don't want to have to get everyone's new IM names again

 

[Merlyn3D]

So....I'm assuming if google uses jabber, it's encrypted isn't it?
