Just a few hours ago I was blogging about all the speculation around Google's new communication tool. Just after midnight, the speculation ended and Google Talk was introduced to the world.
The new Google Talk tool isn't that different from the other major instant messenger players, though it does have a much more simple interface and doesn't throw the annoying pop-up ads at you that some instant messenger programs do. That's all fine and dandy, but until a decent amount of people download the new service, it will be tough finding someone to have a conversation with. (and even at 2:30am, I'm not sleep-deprived enough to try talking to myself...)
Plenty of folks are already talking about the launch, including PC Magazine, Search Engine Watch and Business Week. Russell Shaw over at ZDNet has some insight into where Google may be headed with softphone capabilities.
Get the full story on the Google Talk launch in today's featured article: "Google Launches Google Talk"
