What do you think of the new "Google Talk" messenger? - GoFuckYourself.com

$$$ · 08-25-2005, 04:01 PM

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.

je_rome · 08-25-2005, 05:11 PM

well I haven't tried it yet. what do you mean it sucks? how bad is it?

$$$ · 08-25-2005, 05:13 PM

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

Rui · 08-25-2005, 05:14 PM

Haven't tried it yet, why do you say it sucks»

Za Ha · 08-25-2005, 05:14 PM

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

Thats actualy good, take a look at MSN Messenger 7.0, that fucking thing is bloated with useless kiddie shit

E Guru · 08-25-2005, 05:17 PM

I downloaded it but havn't talked to anyone on it lol

$$$ · 08-25-2005, 05:17 PM

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

Rui · 08-25-2005, 05:25 PM

They don't offer a logging and profile functions? lol what a joke

And some people think Google can comeup with a mass-usable OS alternative to Windows....ahhhh shit

BigCashCrew Dude · 08-25-2005, 05:30 PM

i wonder if they will allow trillian to add it into their program?

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

tristan_D · 08-25-2005, 05:53 PM

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

reynold · 08-25-2005, 06:00 PM

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

Bama · 08-25-2005, 06:04 PM

Got skype and icq

Google is a little late to the party

phogirl69 · 08-25-2005, 06:09 PM

Do you need a microphone to talk into???

HAHA You mofo

beta-tester · 08-25-2005, 06:15 PM

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 ;)

phogirl69 · 08-25-2005, 06:17 PM

No one wants to talk to me... but I have a sexy voice!! lol

jacqueline.cao@gmail

jacqueline.cao at gmail.com

I don't want to text, I want to verbally talk...

How do you add people?

tony286 · 08-25-2005, 07:07 PM

reed_4 · 08-25-2005, 07:09 PM

i haven't tried it and i just got my Gmail invitation yesterday.

PixeLs · 08-25-2005, 09:09 PM

It's getting more an more subscriber each day but I haven't tried it yet.

webcrawler · 08-25-2005, 09:16 PM

I haven't tried it as well. skype and icq is already fine for me, no need to make the switch.

Rui · 08-26-2005, 02:12 AM

ok looks like the current veredict is that its shit ;)

jimboc · 08-26-2005, 02:24 AM

Problem is now I need skype and google open.... they need to make a mutli viop messenger now..

StatsJunky · 08-26-2005, 02:30 AM

If you like simplicity it is great.

If you like 1 million smilies, pop up news and lil banners everywhere and all the other crap bundled with other messengers then it isn't for you.

ssp · 08-26-2005, 02:32 AM

Shortcomings for me:

- You can't have windows on top
- You can't use a webcam
- You can't exchange any files

Plus sides:

- Voice conversations are crispy clear
- It's fast and small
- It has no ads or annoying bullshit like smileys, winks or buzzes

Jakke PNG · 08-26-2005, 02:33 AM

I just added it into my trillian.
It keeps disconnecting me from time to time.

sexybabe · 08-26-2005, 02:37 AM

yahoo messenger is better

emthree · 08-26-2005, 02:38 AM

That's why it's in beta
It will eventually have more features.

Simple does it..

jimboc · 08-26-2005, 02:46 AM

google seems to like simple, except adwords, now that site is fucked up.

PussyTeenies · 08-26-2005, 02:48 AM

no webcam function
cant keep it on top
no smiley gifs

no exchange of files
voip problems with skype

in short i'll stick with msn/icq/irc/skype
