SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. is set to introduce its own instant messaging system, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday, marking the expansion by the Web search leader into not just text but also voice communications.

How long tell Google comes out with there own OS ?

I predict failure. Unlike email and search engines, changing IMs generally forces all your contacts to switch as well. Which forces *their* contacts to switch. And so on

People would rather not bother, unless GIM is capable of connecting to established IM networks.

Well- possibly. If they were wise they would partner up with trillian and make sure their IM standard is supported. Better yet- they should buy Trillian.

I heard it maybe just a rumor. I have yet to find it true...

I'll be interested to see how good/bad Google Talk is. I don't care too much for Gmail, so I'm not holding my breath for the best IM service...

JesseBassett · Aug 23, 2005

GoogleTalk will most likely not be released. I have a lot of doubts on this one

MadeInOz · Aug 23, 2005

Just what we need, another IM service to go along with AIM, Yahoo IM, ICQ, MSN, and Xfire...

Dracil · Aug 24, 2005

It's out. Get it at http://talk.google.com/

Oh boy something else I have to be on the look out for to see if people at work are starting to chat again.

Oh dear god. I soon think they will start to take over the world if they aren't stoped.

Mϋzikdϋde · Aug 24, 2005

The end of the world will come shortly after Google, Amazon, and Microsoft merge.

Toboe · Aug 24, 2005

I downloaded. It pretty much worthless. The only thing it has is being about to check your inbox and using voice chat. Its pretty worthless if you ask me.

Dracil · Aug 24, 2005

Yep, that it is.
