My Opinion on Google Talk
Tags: So much to everyone’s surprise (yes I’m rolling my eyes) Google unveiled one badly kept secret, Google Talk, earlier this week. Here is my ultra-tiny review …. *YAWN*
OK, I really enjoy Gmail and I use it as my primary interface to all my mail, so the tight integration with Google Talk is nice. Those of you familiar with Google’s interface design will be right at home with this one. White. Clean. Simple. The problem is the “simple” part seems to mean we get extremely limited features, as compared to other chat clients. I realize this is beta, but lacking file transfers is a huge buzz kill to me. No Group Chat, no emoticon sets. I mean, this is as vanilla of a chat client that one can be. Atleast you can VOIP your mom.
To say I’m extremely disappointed is an understatement. Google has this stigmata around them that they can do no wrong. And really, up to this point, who could argue? But I’m afraid they missed the boat on this one. Here’s hoping for more next time!
