Have you google talked yet? I have to say I think this is the worst idea from Google. I personally don’t think they can penetrate the MSN and Yahoo communities. [Link]

I knew that was coming! Was thinking about it yesterday, since they came in and stormed everything internet related, how come they dont have their own messenger style program? And I check ur blog and voila! I have to disagree with u about penetrating MSN and Yahoo communities, I think it will surpass both with time.
I doubt my 50+ contacts on msn will all move to google talk. 90% of them dont even use Gmail and for them to want to move to Google Talk their friends on their contact lists would have to move also. Thats impossible, Google is too late.
Mark, I thought so too about their whole idea of a search engine! There was no way they were going to beat yahoo, but look what happened!
btw, I linked ur blog in my latest post, hope its fine by u?
true but changing from google.com to yahoo involved just you. moving from msn to gtalk involves you AND your friends AND their friends AND their friends etc..
They don’t need to penetrate anything – they’ve already hinted at the fact that GTalk will support ‘friends’ on other networks – check this out from their ‘About’ page…
Besides – who would’ve thought that so many people would migrate away from Hotmail and Yahoo! and onto Gmail instead?
But yes, I see your point.
I’m sure the next GTalk version will feature Pc-to-Phone calls going head-to-head with services like net2Phone, PC2Phone and Skype.
