Google Talk

Well the rumors are finally true. Google released an Instant Messenger client early this morning called "Google Talk". This client interact with others on the "Jabber" network and is a low-impact install. It looks like you must have a GMail account to use the program however, but that is easy to get. It is not compatible with MSN, Yahoo or AIM yet (I don't think), but rumor has it they are in talks about it.

Not only is it an IM client however, it is also a VOIP client so you can talk to your friends using a microphone over the internet.

(I haven't actually installed this program yet, just read a little bit about it. I plan on testing it out when I get home tonight.)
