Talk is cheap

I got a chance to look at the next Google adventure. I have not downloaded the beta install for all the obvious and typical reasons. I also don't know anyone else on this network. I assume this will change soon enough.

Just looking at the screen shots I like the nice easy, simple look and feel. I don't want lots of tabs, ads and other distractions that are currently in place for Microsoft's Instant Messenger product.

One thing that I hope Google takes a look at is matching Microsoft's Web Messenger. I think it is sweet, and it has comes in very handy while on the road at training or at a PC that does not have the full IM client installed.

Another interesting bit is Google Talk's integration with the other IM clients out there.
