Google Talk

I just heard about the new Google Talk service from Google which allows you to talk over your computer to friends/family/clients. I heard an example Chris Pirillo demonstrated on his podcast and I couldn’t believe the quality of the sound. Google states “Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room” and they are right. If you have ever used Skype you will hear the difference immediately. I suggest giving Google Talk a go, but you do need a Gmail account prior to signing up. Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password. Don’t have Gmail? Get an account using your mobile phone (US only).
