I was talking to Will when the subject of Google Talk came up. I haven’t downloaded it yet, and I feel completely no inclination to download it because I already have Skype. Google isn’t really doing anything new or fresh with their Google Talk. It’s exactly like Skype from what I read, other than the integration with Gmail accounts, and the ability to connect with other clients (like Gaim, though you will have to forgo the voice call function).

For comparison’s sake:

Google Talk:

Skype:

I guess I’m biased. I love the speed of sending files through Skype. :P But Google, considering how they are always hiring the top programmers (or so they say?), should come up with something creative instead of the same old things everyone has done before.
