With the release of the new Google Talk program, G-Mail invites are being looked for by people all over the web. I have plenty of G-mail invites if anyone is interested. ( aleeya@aleeya.net )

Google Talk can be downloaded at http://www.google.com/talk/. There are no ads (right now), no bells and whistles. It is plain and simple. That is the part I like about it! MS  Messenger has WAY too many extra features that I never use. ICQ started out plain, nice and simple, but is now a huge download and over bloated with too many features I will never use.

I give Google’s Talk a huge thumbs up!

Of course, you have to have a GMAIL account to sign in, but to me that is no more different than having to have a yahoo email account or an MSN account.

And no, I am not being facetious in the title. I have read SO many articles this morning and Google’s new IM client. I read over and over in the reviews about how the IM Client was "plain", it is "vanilla" and it "failed to WOW". There aren’t all the bells and whistles like MSN has. It is not all bloat ware like AIM and ICQ has become (ICQ was great until a few years ago when AOL bought it - then it became all bells and whistles and all bloat ware)

Personally I say "CONGRATS GOOGLE" for getting it right. I am sick of all the messenger clients that take up unwanted space by installing ads and unwanted features. When will I ever use games, and all these searches, and allthe other features? Never. I want a plain ole IM client. That is all. And now.. I finally have one.
