Google can Talk

I was tooling around Flickr and found that there were an inordinate amount of images tagged as "gmail" recently. Suspicious, I checked some out. What did I find? Google has released their chat service, Talk, as a beta. gmailers rejoice! AOL and yahoo, not so much.

Why is it so great? Because, without anyone having to monkey with anything, it works with iChat. And Adium, Trillian GAIM and Psi (whatever those last two are). It's just jabber, nothing new, but it works with your existing gmail account. The PC client allows you to email gmail subscribers from inside it.

If you're on gmail, go try it. I want buddies.
