Check out the new Google Talk
Google Talk is my favourite IM. Despite being not as feature-rich as its counterparts from Yahoo! and MSN are, Google Talk trumps because it exploits fully its USP — it is simple. It has the look-and-feel of an app that you and I would have developed to practise basic networking in Java.
But Google has constantly come up with newer versions, adding a few features with each new release. Voice-chat, integration with GMail etc.
Now the latest version of Google Talk (download link) has added file sharing, voice mail and the ability to display what music you are currently playing on your computer. This last feature is really cool - I remember there was a plugin for Yahoo Messenger which would do the same. But this inbuilt feature is sure to please quite a lot of users.
Read all about it here. And don’t forget to download it!
P.S.: Thanks Suresh, for the link.

Remember what u said when I invited u for G Talk. Now verbatim..
“Ennake Google Talka ??? Talk me …….”
hey Vijay… thanks for the link.. gtalk rocks…
but i am not able to see the file transfer option… anything to be enabled?!?
@Shankar: There is a “Send Files” option in each chat window. Maybe you are not seeing it because those whom you are chatting with have an older version of GTalk.
Hi Shakar if the guy on other side uses older version of Google Talk u cannot see Voicemail and FileTransfer option for this chat session.
if guys are interested how they implemented VOIP there is a source code available which google has used as plugin called LIBGINGLE
chk at this

happy voicing
Hi Shakar, I have to agree with you on this one. Google has done this well. I tend not to like their offerings but this is solid and accomplishes the desired goal of instant communication. It is lame though people need to keep updated on the clientt and the version in gmail leaves something to be desired.
