After much speculation, Google Talk is now finally available at
http://talk.google.com/
Kickass, been playing with it for the last 20 minutes.
It's new communications tool for those who use IM, nice to be an early adopter. Only those who have GMail can get it now, it seems.
If anyone wants to add me, I'm at cfaile_at_ gmail.com.
From their website: "Google Talk is a simple and free way to talk with and send instant messages to your friends. Like Gmail, Google Talk uses Google's innovative technologies to help people communicate more effectively and efficiently. Think of it as Google's approach to communications.
Google Talk is easy and intuitive to use. All you need to make free calls is an Internet connection, a microphone, and a speaker. After you download Google Talk, sign in with your Gmail username and password. Invite your friends to download Google Talk, and once they do, you'll be able to talk or IM with them instantly."
