Google is the most popular these days. Not due to publicity or advertisement but, it's simplified technology. It's very easy to use google rather any other. Google talk is also same like google. It's very simple but sofisticated software to connect people over internet. I am using google talk, Skype, Hotmail, MI and Yahoo messanger. But out of all I found google very easy, good sound quality (Yes Skype have Excellent sound quality, much better than Google talk) superb features & easy to use. Now a days more people inclined towards google than yahoo. Yahoo is looking like a out dated. I prefer google over yahoo & most of the people doing same, because of it's user  Read the complete review

Google really managed to get it right this time, delivering a ...  Read the complete review

Googletalk is in the beta testing at the moment and from what ive used of it, its been highly succesfull. It has all the charm of other IM's but with an easier system and google is just super fantastic much better than micro$oft. The main part of the IM system i liked was the simple menu's and i found it asthetically pleasing. The main problem i had with this was the Lack of Webcam support, and not as many features as some other IM's. The download time is decent about 3 mins on a 512 modem. i would suggest everyone downloading it so it will replace the mediocore IM clients we have at the ...  Read the complete review
