After much speculation and anticipation, Google Talk has been released. I’m finding it to be a very natural extension of Gmail, with the built-in email button and how a gmail account doubles as a Google Talk account. The interface has some nifty features — Click the titlebar of a chat to “windowshade” it; If another window is active and a IM arrives, it automatically displays in the bottom right like a notification. Windows dock together as well, although tabbing might work better.
It’ll be interesting to see how this fares against AIM and MSN Messenger.
