Personally, I have used Google Talk for a long time and I have yet to encounter any technical glitches with it – to me, it’s technical brilliance to sum up its pros. Google Talk can be embedded – take a snippet of code found in the account of each user and paste it into a website or blog. However, a pretty innovative feature of Google Talk will certainly please webmasters. You can receive or send voicemails to your friends and with the Google Chat feature you can chat with multiple contacts at the same time. It’s basically the full package! A feature that many users seem to enjoy is Voicemail and Google Talk fringe benefits from it.
You are also provided with Gmail notifications. PC-to-PC phone calls are supported by Google Talk as well as the possibility of file transfers from one computer to another (only if that particular contact is using Google Talk as well). The complete integration with your account on Gmail works great here. If you hover your mouse over a contact, you get the options to chat with them, send a voicemail, call, e-mail them and many others. You also get a drop down box under your name through which you can update your status with a shoutout and a button that takes you to your Gmail account. Buttons such as “add friend”, “search all contacts” and many more are present as you would expect from an instant messaging client. The interface looks clean and straight to the point.
Google aimed for simplicity and it shows. The interface is definitely very user friendly and no VoIP knowledge is needed. The program works on Windows and it doesn’t come bundled with anything else. As a result, you don’t need broadband internet connection.
An interesting fact is that Google Talk works as long as a 5k dial-up connection is available. The 900 KB size of the setup kit shows that Google has kept things simple for its users. The installation of Google Talk is pretty fast and every personal computer out there, no matter how old, should be able to handle it. Let’s analyze the features of Google Talk and take a closer look at Google’s instant messaging client. The VoIP is of high quality and we certainly expect that from Google. It is integrated with the Gmail e-mail system as well as Google Chat. In a nutshell, Google Talk is an instant messaging tool that boasts voice capabilities.
Google is a company better known for its search engine but Google Talk is an equally powerful tool.
