Arrow IM News: Are You Ready For Another IM?! Google is.

Google ready to walk the walk with text, voice IMs

Quote:
Google (GOOG) is planning to introduce its own instant messaging system, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday, marking the expansion by the Web search leader into text and voice communications.
Citing unnamed sources "familiar with the service," the Los Angeles Times said that Google's instant messaging program would be called Google Talk and could be launched as early as Wednesday.

Google Talk goes beyond text-based instant messaging, letting users hold voice conversations with other computer users, the newspaper quoted a source as saying.

A Google spokeswoman declined to comment on the company's product plans.

If confirmed, the combined computer text and voice service would put Google in competition with a similar service pioneered by Skype, which has attracted tens of millions of users, especially in Europe, to its own service.

Nope! You can download it now right here:

http://www.google.com/talk/

I downloaded it at work but haven't given it a try yet, plus I don't know anyone else that has it yet.

Yes, trillian works with it. All Google talk is is a client that automatically connects to its own Jabber server. So, any program that allows you to connect to jabber will let you connect to Google Talk.
