    Default GIM

    Anyone use the google instant messenger, I didn't know it exsited till a couple of weeks a go. It is simple and clean and I like that, what does everyone else think?

    You can get it here if you are behind the internet times and do not have it already: http://www.google.com/talk/

    Oh yeah, I am very bored

    It just came out a few days ago :P

    I haven't picked it up yet. Reviewers are saying that it's kind of underwhelming. I've already got Skype, and I barely use that, so I might hold off on this one.

    I've been hearing that it fails to impress. It may be heresay, however; I don't think I need another messenger, so I haven't bothered to get a real feel of it for myself.

    It may be cool, because Gmail is awesome, but I have enough messengers (MSN, AIM, Y!M and I hardly even use the last 2) definitely.

    Oh no, it is nothing impressive, it is just a simple program for IMing, I quite like the lack of stuff and features that you get with MSN/AIM/YIM etc. plus it isn't used as a billboard, like some other IMing software

    Classic Google simplistic, functional software. I downloaded it only to realize that nobody else has it.

    Nothing revolutionary, but nice.

    It didn't impress me, so I haven't ever ran it again since the first time.

    Actually it wouldn't really surprise me if Google went and bought Firefox. They need a Google Browser to complete the set.
