As i have said a few times google have finally released a beta of there google talk app. Its a instant messaging client with voice capabilities and so far it looks pretty good. I can now finally let my hotmail account rot the only reason i still have it is to use msn messenger, no more Yaaaaaaa.
It is also only a 900Kb download where Msn Messenger is 9Mb also when idle in the task bar google talk takes up only 8.8Mb of ram where Msn Messenger takes 13.3Mb
right now there is no point for Google's IM network.
the reason is this. it was released today and even so, AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber, Etc... are all superior to it. however when and if the google IM network becomes better, then that would not be completely true.
ya gmail is trully in a league of its own, as for hotmail, as the flow of emails slows, it will certainly rot...maybe i will demote it back to the address i give people i don't really like. 1 question here, or rather a theory needing validation: whats the best way to import all my contacts from hotmail to gmail. i was thinking, is there a way to do it through msn messenger? the only method i've read about thus far is using outlook express and saving a comma file or some crap like that, but outlook sucks so i'm not going that route. well, hopefully there is some good advice out there.
