I installed Google Talk (beta), and overall it looks pretty nice. There is one thing though, I only know two other people that are using it right now!

You need to have a Gmail account to use it, and it will only talk to other Gmail users. To me, that is crazy. The IM market is already too over crowded. If Google was smart about it, Google Talk would be another Trillian, just smaller, lighter, and slicker.

I use MSN Messenger as my main IM, but it is a dog. If Google Talk would work with my MSN contacts, I would switch in a second. For now though, I think Google Talk is a little too late.
