Numinous Non-Sense 1.0

Whoa, I had heard rumors on SlashDot yesterday, but it looks like it is a reality. Google just launched an IM service called GoogleTalk. Looks pretty cool so far, and has a VoIP module… Future Skype buyout possible? Who knows…

They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:

Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call

Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room

Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Props to eBuddha for inviting me to check this out…
