Ok guys, here is another Instant Messenger (IM) launched in the past 2 weeks. First, we saw Yahoo IM 7.0 2 weeks ago, then the launch of MSN Messenger 7.5 in the previous post, now Google Talk Beta !!

Since the launch of Google Gmail, I started hoping Google release it own IM like Yahoo and MSN do, with email notification. So, right after I heard about Google Talk is finally launched, immediately I downloaded and installed it. But then I found that I have too many IM in my PC, since when I on my PC for the sake of chatting? :p

Anyway, Google Talk does not have too many features to play with. The major features are instant messaging, making voice call, sending email and email notification. Don’t worry if you already have Google Official Gmail Notifier installed, the installation process will help you to uninstall it. There is NO smiley or emoticon and the interface is plain and simple, I think this is due to it’s only in Beta testing phase.

Let’s get started with Google Talk now. :)

Just 2 weeks ago, Yahoo launched their latest Instant Messenger (IM), Yahoo IM 7.0. Today, Microsoft released its new MSN Messenger, MSN Messenger 7.5, to stay in competition.

I’ve just downloaded and installed it, nothing much different except with some slight enhancement. Among the new features, I saw the Voice Clip, which allows us to send voice clip right through MSN. Of course, you’ll need a microphone to record your voice, and the recipient will need to have either speaker or headphone to listen to it. Sending voice clip is totally FREE.

Most of us have heard about Google Maps and MSN Virtual Earth, both provide similar free mapping service. yesterday A9.com, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, launched A9.com Maps Beta, a service that shows users an interactive map with street-level images.

Quoted:
A9’s Block View(TM) technology brings traditional maps to life by combining driving directions and other convenient mapping tools with street-level images of millions of places and their surroundings. A9.com Maps starts like other web-based maps by asking users to type an address (or two addresses in the case of driving directions) and providing an interactive map in return.

New Overclocking World Record : 7.1335 GHz !!

Yahoo has just launched its latest version of Instant Messenger (IM), Yahoo Messenger 7.

New features that it has including Voice over IP (VoIP), which enables you to make PC-to-PC calls around the world. What you need is only a microphone and speaker/headphone. With this feature, you are able to receive voicemail when you are offline or away. You can record call history for each and every call too. Besides, you are able to select your desired ringing tone as well.

It’s time to get a pair of headphone and microphone, if you still don’t have one. I suppose this new feature inevitably poses threat to another free VoIP service provider, Skype. Meanwhile, MSN Messenger will need to catch up again. :p
