...but it was tasty!

So, last night was difficult...I couldn't fall asleep. So I'm tired today. Tack on to that that I have a meeting at 1 this afternoon to give progress on this project...eek.

Anyway, it appears as though the rumors are true, and Google has opened up an IM client, called Google Talk. So far, I haven't been able to talk to anyone, since noone I know is online. But I'm one of the first users, and I can see some potential, but I think it could use some work too. I don't like the look of the window, and I don't like how uncustomizable it is. But maybe that will come with time. I think the right-click menu of the task bar icon could use some more features, such as a direct link to the properties. And I'm not sure what the search box is for, but I'm sure I'll find out.

All in all, I'm excited about this service, and wait patiently until more people become able to use it, so I can see it's full functionality. I like it's tie-in to my contacts list (I just tried to search for the word "hello" and it brought up contacts that began with He as I typed, with the ability to Invite), and how you can talk by IM, EMail, and Virtual Phone from the same client. We'll see how it all comes together!

Back to work!
