Google Talk & Google Desktop
Google Talk - http://talk.google.com
Late last night Google released their instant messaging program, Google Talk. It uses your Gmail account to login. So far it looks great. Since it is only a BETA version I’m sure it will have some new features added to it. If you don’t have a Gmail account yet, let me know and I will send you an invite. Sign up and start using Gmail and Google Talk.
Google Desktop - http://desktop.google.com
On Monday Google released Google Desktop 2. This program is pretty sweet. You can have the news, your email, and the weather on your desktop at all times. For those who want, Google provides a SDK so you can create your own plug-in’s for it. I like this program, rather than going to multiple pages to check things out I can quickly look over at my Google Desktop and get all the information I need.
So to sum it up … go get a Gmail account, then download Google Talk and Google Desktop 2. Do it, ok … just do it.
