Well Google's done it's PR job and Google Talk has even made front page here in the UK, but something you might not know which is FAR cooler and much more important is that they are developing a link to Voice over IP services such as Gizmo, VIing using the SIP protocol so all the 'softphones' will talk to Google Talk. So you'll be able to talk to other services and phones via Google Talk, for free. Find out more here at ZDnet. When Google is going to support VOIP then you know that it's shifted from a buggy implementations of Gizmo (yes it really IS buggy, can't launch v1.0 at the moment) and Skype to Google Talk supporting VOIP is a gigantic leap forward, if only in the Apple-gets-podcasting-iTunes kind of way. The difference to podcasting is that the quality isn't totally there yet with Gizmo et al; so Google's interest in this is welcome to me rather than the big guys taking their ball back. Just a note - you can at the moment call or leave me voicemail on Gizmo at 'radioclash' or over VOIP/SIP at 1-747-611-3777, and Skype via 'timbearcub'. Can't wait for the day you can podcast, play music, get voicemail, accept calls and record all of this and talk to the rest of the world via your computer... EDIT: Still can't login to Google Talk - it works via iChat and Jabber but not via XP and the Google Talk program. So much for the technology...and Gizmo is working now. Weird. My username on Google Talk / Gmail is 'timbearcub' so feel free to add me. At least I'll be able to chat, if I'm on the Mac...
