Google Talk is a lightweight Jabber-based instant messaging client with voice capabilities. 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.

Google Talk currently does not encrypt chats or calls. When you use Google Talk, you can choose to have your IM chats stored locally on your own computer so that you have a chat history. Google does not collect the content of instant message chats or voice conversations.

    Nice app, still missing the AIM integration that gmail's talk client has but that can be cured with PSI and a jabber transport. It would also be nice to see video support without external applications. I dont really know how well standalone IM clients are going to do nowadays though when its easy and convenient to do the same thing at gmail.com and a few other sites.

    I used to use Windows Live Messenger, but I didn't like the advertisements in the interface and nor did I like the textual advertising in the program.

    That's why I downloaded Google Talk and I can describe it in a few words : Easy to use, nice interface, not loaded with features that you don't use, sorry Windows Live Messenger fans, and it's indeed lightweighted and doesn't take a long time to load.

    Although, I would have liked it to have video ( webcam ) abilities as well. I haven't found a solution for that yet.

    Google Talk is a great program to use and easy to use !

    Also ExtendedTalk, an add-on for Google Talk, similar to MSN Plus! Live, adds a lot of features to the program.

    My independent reviews about G-talk is, its simply the best. Most easy to use, integrated with gmail, a light application, and a crystal clear voice communication, which is seriously lacking in Yahoo IM. Both MSN & Yahoo IM are very heavy to use. Due to this most of us have made it as a main IM application. Me and my brother cannot imagine what a life can be without Gtalk (he lives in US and I m in India..)

    It downloaded the correct version for me.

    Who uses Orkut other than Brazilians?

    The download provided is for 1.0.0.100 (from here and directly on the google talk page). Not sure if it auto updates to the current build or what?

    I like Google Talk, its simplicity and interface. It's not astounding but it meets my needs well.
