Google Talk

[Timber]

Ok I DLed it, now I need people to talk to on it.

I have high hopes for this. AIM sucks. Yahoo is the best IM service but no one I know uses it and it's the classic "but all my friends are on AIM!" Google is "cool" enough to hopefully cause a switch and interested in quality enough to hopefully support everything yahoo does (namely offline messages which I really wish AIM had)

Tried it out. Ill stick with trillian w/ it's current skin. Much more customizable and even more simplified then what google offers, plus way more functionality (with being able to talk to almost anybody and everything).

The question here is wether or not Cerulean Studios will try to incorperate Google Talk in to a future release of Trillian (if Google Talk really takes off, that is).

I haven't personally tried it myself, just yet, but that's on my list of things to do once I get back to my computer proper.

Despite all, though, I still prefer IRC, strangely enough.

I used to use ICQ, had a 6 digit number and everything, but everyone got AIM, so I was forced to switch... I then used Trillian to be able to use both buddy lists... then I just talked to no one on ICQ anymore, and Trillian was just way too imcompatable... so I was forced to use AIM, and I was never happy about it. I used DeadAIM for a while, but then they started charging, or else I'd be incompatable and have an old AIM. I just can never win. Anyway, point of my rant is I hope people switch to Google, and I know things will improve.

Just use GAIM.

[Schlep]

gAIM SUCKS.

[lithium]

gaim is perfectly fine. It's the underlying protocol, AIM, that sucks.

[TobalRox]

I've heard of gaim, a buddy of mine tried to get me to use it, but he uses it and whenever I try to send files or anything, it doesn't work. So since file transfers are a big part of what I like to do, I won't be switching anytime soon.

They did. Google Talk is just a Jabber implementation. You just need Trillian Pro in order to be able to access it.
