    What do you think of the new "Google Talk" messenger?

    IMO it sucks balls. They'll need to come a long way to compete with AIM, ICQ & Y!MSNGR. If you haven't tested it out yet I recommend you refrain from doing so.

      It's just extremely bland & useless in 2005. It doesn't compare to it's competitors.

          MSN needs to allow you to rename people and send offline messages and it will be perfect.

                Simplicity is great, I'm not disagreeing with that. But they need Logging/Profile/WebCam/Direct Connect support.

                      Of course they will, I just don't predict it happening anytime soon.

                        I'm sure google will feel terrible to hear all these disappointments.

                            Sorry, I haven't tried it yet. Does it need Gmail to get into this one?

                                        I like it. It's very clean, neat and so fucking fast and stable. But yes, it's still in beta version and the layout is pretty simple ;)
