And thus the world domination scheme (visibly) begins.

[rhonlore]

Its already begun long ago, note Google Earth :p

[jazzpizza]

Hence the "visible" thing. :P

[rhonlore]

You fail. *humor evades me*

Acutally Google Talk was meant to be less an IM program, and more of a direct competition to Skype. The big G still has alot of ground to make up on Skype though...

[rhonlore]

Overtake them in what? 3.. 4 weeks? lol

Knowing Google they will turn it into an IM and Voice monopoly soon enough.

[pattmyn]

I dont think so man...this is the first project Google could lose.

Google is getting good at grabbing up Freeware, modding it, then releasing it as their own. This one was based off Jabber/XMP for instance, and I'm staying as far away from their new browser as possible when it comes out.

[rhonlore]

Yeah I was just told about that. It ate Jabber and used their server, hell you can even connect to their server using GAIM or even Trillian, as long as you get the Jabber plugin for Trillian.

Awesome voice protocol though. Beats the shit out of MSN's WHICH DOESNT WORK lol

[pattmyn]

Msn works if you know how to work your router.

Or you could, you know, use a PHONE for talking to people with your voice.
