Google Talk

Posted by Terry Howard @ 8/16/2006

Google posted today that they were offering more and new wonderful things and ways for people to communicate in Google Talk. I read this and my immediate thought was, where the heck is the biggest piece of news people have been waiting for on this, connecting to AIM? I mean, if you want to give people more ways to connect, connect to AIM like you promised would happen more than 6 months ago. I'm pretty sure that it's not a huge technical feat, as iChat on my Mac has done it from the get go years ago. I'd love to dump the ad laden clunky AIM application on my work computer for a nice Google app that integrates well with Google desktop, but apparently I seem to be waiting for a mountain to move or something. I did find this guy offering a pretty tedious work around, but I don't get why Google just doesn't do this already. Sorry, no matter how many blog posts you make saying how many tons of people our communicating with Google Talk, I still haven't come across anyone I know using anything other than AIM. Give us the hook up already Google!
