Last year, we launched Google Talk, a free and easy service for making voice calls and sending instant messages. It used to be that only Gmail users could use Google Talk but now anyone can sign up for Google Talk. If you haven’t tried the service yet, here are 5 good reasons to give it a try:
- now anyone can use the service (Gmail accounts no longer required)
- free and crystal clear voice calls to your friends and family anywhere in the world
- transfer files and folders to others
- free voicemail messages (MEEP!)
- IM from your BlackBerry
Just sign up, invite some friends, and you can be chatting with them in minutes. There are millions of people around the world to chat with! There are, however, still some features including chat histories and mail notifications that will only work if you sign into Google Talk with a Gmail account. Either way, we encourage you to give it a try.

I’m sure at least one, two or three friends will be very pleased with these news, i am too… now, what about spreading the word on this?, so less people keep using the annoying, bloated-protocol, stupid-plugins/addons/emoticons MSN Messenger, i will for sure tell other people to try Google Talk, maybe in a marvelous far-from-reality future most people end up stop using M$ products.
