Google Talk Beta Download

Google continues to expand its services with the release of a beta version of Google Talk software, now available for download:

Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free anytime, anywhere in the world. The other interesting feature is a built-in Gmail Notifier, which automatically checks Gmail account and shows brief information about new e-mails. To start using this service you need to download and install the utility which weights 900K, and since only Gmail users are allowed to use this service, you have to login using your Gmail account username and password.

Google Talk is a simple and free way to talk with and send instant messages to your friends. Like Gmail, Google Talk uses Google’s innovative technologies to help people communicate more effectively and efficiently. Think of it as Google’s approach to communications.

Google Talk is easy and intuitive to use. All you need to make free calls is an Internet connection, a microphone, and a speaker. After you download Google Talk, sign in with your Gmail username and password. Invite your friends to download Google Talk, and once they do, you’ll be able to talk or IM with them instantly.
