Another cool clean service from Google:

http://www.google.com/talk/

say goodbye to AIM (with their ads)

Quote:
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 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

google wants more people to use their search engine (google.com) - that's the only 'something in it'- they attract ppl by providing them with free services.

people pay to have higher priority on a search engine when certain keywords are searched for. more people using their services=more people using their search engines=more money from companies for them.

I already downloaded it about 2 weeks ago.
but talking in IM isn't new for me. I've done it in Yahoo, before there was yahoo voice which is also fairly new.
all you need is yahoo messanger and a microphone.
I bought a headphone that has a mic attached, it's kewl. I used to speak to my friends alot like this, it was fun.
