Google Talk beta

Google thinks talk should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for freeÔÇôanytime, anywhere in the world.

Google Talk is a downloadable Windows application that enables users to quickly and easily talk or send instant messages to their friends for free. Calls are made through your computer using the latest voice technology; all you need is an Internet connection, a microphone and a speaker. If you don't have a speaker or built-in microphone, you may want to consider buying a headset, which will also provide the best voice quality when using Google Talk.

Features of Google Talk:
Choice: Get in touch over email, IM or a call
Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room
Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Google isn't showing any ads on Google Talk. There are no pop-ups or clutterÔÇöjust a clean and simple interface to make it easy for you to communicate instantly with your friends.
