Google Talk is up!

There has been much speculation for the last few days about the arrival of Google Talk.  Well, it's now up, and Skype has a new competitor!  More soon...

UPDATE:  Upon closer inspection, I now see that Google Talk actually is not VoIP, but audio chat.  It does not offer anything comparable to Skype Out (the ability to call landlines from your Skype account) or Skype In (the ability for people on landlines to call you on Skype using a telephone number).  So, I jumped the gun a little bit.  Sorry!

Wow, another Google post!

I can see that the Google-force runs deep within you young master De Cagna. How much brainwashing in you did Google place while visiting their campus were you?

...sorry, I couldn't resist;)

Not that you asked, but I am a huge fan of Skype. It's been a great bridge in technology between a short IM and typing out an email or picking up the phone.
