Google talks the Talk

Google announced Google Talk recently. Yes it's an IM (Instant Messenger) in the lines of Yahoo! messenger or MSN messenger.

It has a neat, simple interface. All you got to have is a GMail id for authentication purpose. It also supports voice calls to other computers. The quality of which is quite good.

Still in Beta, so I am expecting more features to be added before the full-fledged product is released.

As a side note, Google Desktop Search 2 (also in Beta) is fantastic with it's sidebar feature. The only thing I currently don't like in that is there is no "Remove All" feature in any of those tabs eg., Email - If I have 10 emails, currently I have to choose each of them and delete. The other problem is with the Auto-Hide feature - doesn't work most of the times.
