Google Talk

September 19, 2005 4:51 AM

Google Talk is a brand new chat system, thought up by bright sparks at the company. The slight differences between this system and others, is that it is cleaner, simpler, and allows for simultaneous text and voice communication. Is this another effort by Google to consume the universe? The Gmail system was most creepy, was it not? You decide.

Brand new?

Dude, where have you been? This is the biggest thing since Google sidebar!

Personally, I just thought that Google seems to be expanding rapidly. Google Earth, Google Search, Froogle, Google Mail (Gmail) Google Talk, when will it end?!

Also, the gmail-is-too-creepy site makes a point. An email service that encourages you not to delete? *shudder*

What happened to inconvenience? What happened to "Your mailbox is full, go to hell!"

Well, you tell me.

BTW, anything "released within the last month or so" is new. For me.

Let me tell you, by any measure of good taste and quality this post could suck the shit out of a million constipated monkeys.

And I am being constructive.

"Google Eschaton" -- now, that's a user interface I'd like to see.

For you, then, this site may be more about the receiving than the giving.

Maybe, just maybe, if Google had released GoogleTalkLikeAPirate, then you might have a worthy post. Yarrrr!

If only new members would focus less on picking smartarse names and more on what's being posted. (Everyone knows punchy five letter words make better names anyway)
